Cauliflower Heads are Forming

A few days ago these heads were only 3″ in diameter, they’ve doubled in size. I’m not covering them with leaves yet this year, because we haven’t had any sun to damage them. If the sun should emerge, I’ll take one of the large exterior leaves and tuck it around the white head to keep it from turning brown. So far this summer, our garden is producing tender, tasty vegetables, and more than we can consume. It is time to start vaccum sealing them for the freezer.

More tomorrow,
