SPIRALLING

I’m very proud of this ‘Romanesco’ cauliflower, but have to say that the plants took up an enormous amount of space in the veg patch and were beacons for the cabbage white butterflies - another thing that’s flourished this year.  It tastes (and in fact is) more like brocolli and was almost universally accepted by the family, but only because of the shape.  I’ve been feeding the stalks and leaves to the chickens - they are wildly appreciative, but I’ll only grow it again if space allows.
