We're finally getting some nice sunny weather around here, so I'll be out there weeding and digging pretty soon. The weeds have really taken over. Why is it so very easy to grow a weed? You don't even have to try!

So Excited!
Look what I found in my garden yesterday!
Yes, it's a baby cauliflower! This picture is not the best (I'm not the greatest photographer) and it makes that baby look a lot bigger than it is. But, I've never grown cauliflower before and I've heard they're tough to grow. Thought I'd give it a shot anyway, since one thing I do like to do is to try new things. I actually found four such little caulis out of the seven I planted. Time will tell if they grow into nice sized edibles. I have never had success, though I try every year, with growing a good broccoli head; they stay rather small, so I wonder if the cauliflowers won't do the same or will "button up" as I've read.

Yippee for the cauliflower! I find both broccoli and cauliflower success very dependent on the weather. I am trying some new varieties this year though.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's with weeds. They always seem to out grow everything else!
Thanks Robin and thanks for stopping by! As you can see by my blog list, I'm a regular reader of yours and have been for awhile. This is a new venture for me and I'm still struggling with the ins and outs of blogging and using blogger. So I really do appreciate hearing from you!
DeleteI have never grown a decent head of cauliflower! I don't seem to have any problems with broccoli, but cauliflower just hates me. I'm trying again though, 'cause some day I have to luck out and get it right.
ReplyDeleteI am sure with your gardening skill it is just a matter of time! But don't think for one minute I am counting my "chickens" before they hatch! Cauliflower doesn't do well with temperature extremes and we're supposed to get very hot this week!
