Actually it's not big enough to walk through, but you can walk along side it! What a sight to see when I got home. The broccoli and cauliflower that we planted in December had finally produced. The broccoli was different than usual.
Each leaf had produced a small head of broccoli, instead of one big head off the center stem. I harvested the good ones (and they were good!) and then left some of the plants to produce more (the didn't) or flower to make seeds? I've never saved broccoli seeds before I 'll let you know if it works out.
The Cauliflower--- that is my pride and joy... just harvested the one with the most full sun of the 4 we planted. Look at this beauty, just like in the stores! This is a cheddar cauliflower, hence the lovely yellow color. It was delicious! Nice spicy kick to it. I love to eat cauliflower the way Malia's mom makes it: Slather it with mayo and mustard after it's lightly steamed. Then cover with cheese (I like cheddar and pepper jack cheese) and broil until the cheese get's slightly crisp. It is amazing every time, but with home grown veggies it is out of this world!!!!
haven't visited in a while, but the cauliflower looks awesome! Hawaii looked really awesome . . . will you post more about that trip?
