Allotments 4 All

Our first cauli of the year. Candid Charm. Very pleased with them

What a cracker ;D. Well done.

But keep on top of them or they are gonners!!

Amazing.............had a cauliflower grown by my DIL in her garden tonight.

So tasty and fresh.........a real treat.

Candid  charm grow the size of footballs.  Always a great choice and my only summer autumn choice.

I pulled my first Candid Charm yesterday as well a mighty fine reliable Cauli another two veriaties i would recommend is Cornell and the one for the show bench is Raleigh

Looks like we picked a winner then. We did give 2 more away.Will I have time to make another sowing. I have looked on the packet and although it does mention Autumn it doeasn't have the sowing dates

Candid Charm are a 75 day Cauli from sowing to eating so just count the days to when you may be able to get the last before the weather gets to cold.

So here I go again. Off to sow another ten.

Big freezer then

Several, if I remember correctly ;D.

lovely cauli well done  :)

Not really caulis but we've just had our first 2 romanesco broccoli  :)

Which one Manic. I love those with dippy things ;D.

We had to get another freezer when we got another allotment. We will give some away but will freeze the rest. I will have to remember next year to sow them at intervals.(bet I forget)
manics I can't seem to grow Romanesco.Which variety do you grow and where do you get them?

Got ours from kings, Shirl, just romanesco broccoli, sown in modules, transplanted into bigger pots until in at least 5" pots, put in with a bit of bfb and some lime, not watered since puddling in. We do, however, have trouble getting good size caulis  ;D

Thanks Mal. Got my Candid Charm from Kings too

Very nice Shirl, caulies have always been one of my downfalls. :'(

Ah Kev. Try these and you will be a winner ;D

Looking back on our pink, overblown caulis, presumably the pink is harmless?
