mmm, veggies

I'm a little bit excited.
I've never grown cauliflower before.
I've tried.....but they've usually died, or been eaten alive.
You know, bugs, slugs, caterpillars....

But now.....look!

 Cauliflower number one has a teeny little head forming, it's about one inch across.


Cauliflower number two has an even smaller head, about half an inch across.

Cauliflowers three and four are just leaves so far.

I'm looking forward to picking and eating these.
I love cauliflower baked in a cheese sauce.

    Ooooh. They look wonderful. And I have never succeeding in growing them either so I am a bit jealous. And the night before last I made a lovely cauliflower, onion, chickpea and spinach dish. And made heaps so guess what is for dinner tonight (for me anyway).

    EC; umm, leftover cauliflower, onion, chickpea and spinach dish? Sounds interesting. Is it a stirfry type dish or a baked in a sauce in the oven type?

    Oh, well done! But don't relax your vigilance - as caulis mature, they can so easily become high rises for earwigs and slugs!! Good luck!!

    mybabyjohn; they do look cute right now. I'm wondering how big they'll get. I may pick them when they're just big enough for me.

    Red Nomad; vigilance is planned. No earwig is going to get my dinner if I can help it.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
