I think that big red might be tricking us. Maybe big red is not big at all, but instead is a midget - meaning that the bought cauli was really little and the garden grown one just average size :D

I went and checked mine after seeing those pics, and here are some pics from mine... I think these gardens are attempting to win us back!

Are any of you doing "insectary" plantings? This is where you plant stuff like marigolds and allyssum to attract beneficial insects. I planted some marigolds but way late. Next year I will put an entire border of insectary plants of all kinds around my stuff.

checked about 2 and a half weeks ago - we have had rain here so I have not had to go over and water it (the veg garden is in the far corner of the yard - not on my usual 'path' around the yard...

nastursiums are good for insects, and for adding to salads

The secret is out. I was really standing 10 metres way with the cauli only 1 metre away on the end of a really long stick. :oops:
