I'm sowing some more and this time they will receive lots of sheep and chiken composted manure.gintoinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909773860893386823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441141568118034925.post-88559215209703266952009-01-12T22:36:00.000+01:002009-01-12T22:36:00.000+01:00Thanks Titania.

We do have lots of white butterflies, but their caterpillars seem to have eaten the cabbages rather than the cauliflowers.chaiselonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372135992072231446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441141568118034925.post-83149954398681318642009-01-12T22:17:00.000+01:002009-01-12T22:17:00.000+01:00So it seems "Le printemps" is not that far off.

That is one crop we plant here through winter. I think cauliflower needs a lot of organic fertilizer and water to grow well. It is a greedy vegetable. And preferably no white butterflies!Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.com
