Growing caulies has always been a bit hit or miss for me - mostly miss. This year I gave Clapton a go. There was no sign of them a week ago but 5 heads have appeared in unison. I picked these two each weighing in at over a kilo. The timing of these is ideal from a school garden point of view. The All The Year Round we grew there produced some good heads too this year but that was right in the middle of the school holidays (Scotland's schools go back over two weeks earlier than English)
Another surprise (and hence the poor quality snap - also it was raining) to spot a young sparrowhawk on the birdbath at home. The residents were understandably perturbed.
We picked a Clapton today too and had rain so SNAP.
ReplyDeleteSue mentioned I cut one Clapton cauliflower but there's another 3 or 4 waiting to be cut. Clapton usually does okay for us providing I manage to keep the cabbages whites off them.
