I love the blue-green foliage color of Brassica family. I have found Broccoli and Kohlrabi very easy to grow. Now I think Cauliflower is also not that difficult as long as you provide enough water and nutrient. I am not sure what variety I planted but it took about 5 months for these to be ready.
Bought these plants around Jan/Feb. 9-packs from HD was my second time growing cauliflower. The growth was somewhat slow.
This is around March. About 2 months after planting -
There is lilac growing behind these plants
Here is how it looked like on the last day of May.
A few days later... this was ready. It was a little over 3 pounds.
My almost 5-year-old daughter loved it.
This one is next, I think another 2-3 days and this will be ready.
Today, I picked two more (July 17, 2009), its supposed to get very hot the next few days, which can wilt the leaf and turn it yellowish.
Also, I need this space for eggplants.
This one is huge !! It must be at least 4 pounds and its very tight.
(Thats a quarter on top of it)
I could not resists... here is one more picture. This must be one of the best yield I had from my garden.
