I have been growing vegetables for 37 years and only managed in the past to get one 3 inches across. But this year I have some nice sized ones. A huge thank you to everyone who has posted tips and hints. I followed them all. I have a few small ones and some that have blown but finally I have several perfect caulis. ;D ;D ;D
The winning formula seems to boil down to water water feed water water feed water water water water..... And I think that plenty of sunshine must have helped along the way. Seems netting helped because the ones that a pigeon nibbled have not produced heads and it only had a tiny amount. I also mulched them and this was obviously beneficial, for some reason I had it in my head that mulching brassicas was a bad thing. They had plenty of BFB and extra nitrogen.
well done - mine are rubbish this year. Did net them but pigeons still got at them, must try harder
