Cauliflower glut

Acres and acres of cauliflowers going to waste, well not quite ,the sheep are let in to graze but they do not eat the heads, just the leaves. The place stinks of them as they are starting to rot.  What a waste, just to keep the price up in the shops.  I have frozen some that were growing near to our hedge, before they moved the leccy fence and let the sheep get the rest of them.

Usually a crowd of pickers follow a special machine pulled by a tractor, they all dress in orange overalls and look like Umpa Lumpas as they work their way across the fields speaking in strange tongues. I expect they have moved on to the acres of glass to pick the tomatoes that they have just started cropping down this way.

That's scandalous! Who owns that??
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
