Contrary to popular reports I was not buried under a Couch weed avalanche.
This blog should be backdated to 25th april or so when I picked my first Cauliflower and was given a monster Parsnip!
We will start with the Parsnip because I may have mentioned before how Barney on the next plot grows massive root veg, well this one was as long as my forearm and still tasted great when I souped it without any woodiness. If I can grow Parsnips half as big and good as these I will be very happy, Barney employs the sow a row of parsnips thickly and constantly thin them out until they reach the correct spacing method. Another thing he does is dig in the mulch that you can see in my previous post showing the sweetcorn area I mulched before sowing.
Now my proud moment, my first Cauliflower, I have 8 more in the ground but unfortunately they all seem on the verge of bolting as they are getting bigger so it looks like a giveaway/blanch and freeze time is coming.
