Nothing much going on here. It's cold... Abnormally cold for this time of year. But, we're still eating our veggies, and trying to keep color in our lives when everything outside is white and frozen.
This afternoon, when we stopped at the grocery store for milk, we discovered that they had cauliflower on sale. And not just any cauliflower. They had the colored stuff!
Now, I'm off to do some research and soon I will (hopefully) order some row covers to keep the bugs out of our broccoli and cauliflower.
Look at those bright colors. Awesome!
ReplyDeletePurple cauliflower, nice! I'm not sure that I've actually seen any before, did it cook up white, or stay purple?
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Day!! I had no idea, nor have I ever seen colored cauliflower!! It's beatuiful and looks more kid friendly!! Be SURE and take pictures of all your colored cauliflower this summer! I want to see!!!! ...debbie
ReplyDeletenothing like a good old relish tray! Maybe I could get the kids to eat PURPLE cauliflower LOL!
ReplyDeleteMeemsnyc- it is really that fluorescent of a purple. But only the outside- the inside is still pretty white.
ReplyDeleteAli- I don't know if it keeps it's purple color when you cook it. My children (and me too, honestly) like it better raw so that's how we ate it.
Debbie- isn't it awesome! I'll definitely post some pictures this summer when we get more.
Erin- maybe- it's worth a try. I can send you a few seeds if you want to give it a try- of course, I have no way of knowing what color they will be.

Who are you ordering your row covers from?
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I ended up ordering the lightweight insect covers from Johnny's. They come in a long roll that I can cut to the length I need for my garden. I also got some support hoops from them as well. I'm thinking I may try these as well to keep the Japanese Beetles off my beans and edamame this year as well.
