Cauliflower

Can I come over for dinner, please. Cauliflower cheese is one of my favourites. Are they easy to grow, Amy?

You are welcome Gill , 6.00 pm sharp or it will be gone LOL... we have hits and misses with Cauliflower Gill some times they are a lovely lot and at other times they kind of bolt and look more like broccoli spears sticking up ,then they need picking and using straight away , I think a lot depends on the weather .......

WOW!! Perfectly formed!

Supposed to be a shortage of them this year Amy...I eat them raw from the garden, they are so nice.

That is a good looking Cauli,Amy..I love it,but rest of family not keen..looks like the weather has been good for them this year..:o)

Lovely Amy.
Neighbour gave me one on the weekend. We had cauliflower cheese night before last. Such a difference with the taste of the fresh ones. mmmmm...:o)

Thanks Michaella , Pp my daughter use to eat all her veg raw even potato , I like an assorted dish of veg. with a dip , I didn't know there was going to be a shortage we should have put more in you will have to make a little one for yourself Sandra I often make one bigger than we need and then freeze half .
Fresh is always best Linda :o)

Well done you AMy for growing such wonderful veg.

I like raw cauli too Amy especially when its done with a curry style sauce!.....mmmmmmmn Dont think that one is going to be big enough for us all ..lol

Can i come aswell:))))

I love Cauliflower Cheese too with a slice of Ham on the side;0)

Thanks Linda, I like going into the graden to pick fresh veg. curry sauce with it is a new one on me Poppy, I'll have to try that ! your welcome Carol any time :o)

Mmm me to Carole , very tasty :o)

Ho ho Amy, that does sound funny - like something you have on your chips! I should have explained better, I like it with a sort of curry mayonnaise as a salad type veg - try it, its much nicer than it sounds

My grandchildren have Curry sauce with chips Poppy ,I thought that was very strange until I tried it, I liked it I will def try it with the veg...

Wow Amy, looks luscious. When, how did you grow. I have a packet of seed but not done anything yet.

I like them raw. I can only eat them raw :o)

Yuk Hywel......Amy this looks like a shop one it looks so good, if you know what I mean. if you have any leftover you must try my cauli bake lol

Hi Dawn , we didn't grow these from seed they were small plants when we bought them ( Cheats ) LOL. It's good for you to eat raw veg Hywel nothing lost in the cooking that way !
I'm amazed at how good they are looking this year Angela ,you can't quite see it except for the blurring round the edges of the photo but we have rabbit wire completely covering them to keep the pigeons off, I'm off to find your Cauli bake recipe I love things like that it's what I call ' Comfort Food ' :o)

So when did you plant them out Amy?
I eat veg raw to Hywel, love the centre of the cauli, we call it the corkle for some reason.

The plants were put in last Autumn Dawn , That's a new word 'corkle ' I haven't heard that before , I've heard of the caulie being refered to as a curd .. :o)

Dont know where corkle derived from Amy, lol. so I could grow from seed now and plant out in Autumn.

Yes Dawn they should be nice little plants by then ,good luck :o)

Thanx Amy.

I like mine with parsnips and mushrooms, both cooked and sliced and added before the cheese sauce, totally yummy.

I really like Parsnips Grandmage but I'm afraid OH doesn't :o(

Do you know what I do, I put the parsnip down one end of the dish and the mush up the other so no confusion!! Lol

What a good idea Grandmage I wil try that :o))

A veggie pic... Hurray! looks nice and clean and healthy. Yum!

Makes a change from flowers doesn't it Lori :o)

Call me weird, but I think that cauliflower is so pretty! and for strangeness you can't beat brussel sprouts...lol.
or eggplant for wowsy colour. I must be hungry...time for a snack. ;-)

Thats not strange Lori , I love to see Chives in flower pea and bean flowers they are all pretty in their own way .......

I have a few years of soil amendments ahead of me, Amy. When I'm satisfied that I have a decent soil I'll start my veggie garden. Last place we lived the soil was poisoned...couldn't trust it even with five or ten years of work. Our present place was constructed...a lot of trucking in of fill, etc. and for that reason I'm being a little cautious..but around here the locals know all the history so when I go to the little market on Saturday morning I can ask about. Met the lady who first lived on our property (before her it was a swamp below a rocky hill!) She said she was glad to see that I was inclined to garden. So better get outdoors and do that thing..lol. My chives are up but haven't yet blossomed ...and the garlic chives are a healthy clump..last spring they were a sorry sight.
