cauli

Evening, My cauli s are doing great in the small poly tunnel. But should I sort of gather the leaves up and put a band round them to protect the heads, or should I just leave them??. What the best results?, I dont want them to go all 'orrible !!

 

Is there anyone who has grown caulis in their polytunnel andwhat was there success

 

I grew a polly in my caulitunnel a couple of years ago...no difference to those outside. To protect the heads, or curds as is their correct name..traditional way is to partly snap/bend a leaf to cover the curd as protection from the sun.

Thanxs for that Steve, We have grown cauli/ cabbage outside and all we was ever left with was 'Stalks' !!- Dam pigeons and no nets.
Hoping to have better luck in the old tunnel

 

Cauli is doing rather well

 

I am going to be transforming this area, watch this space !!!!
and with the use of these

 

Nice neat and tidy clean pallets...we never get them like that here in Cumbria...

So, what are you up to then?

Steve...

 

Hopefully we are gonna make a sort of seating arrangement
Yesterday we picked up a posh gazebo thingy, got it for £30, woman said she paid nearly £300 for it last year, but didnt screw it down so the wind blew it over and it has a tear in the roof about a foot long..... good job I have a sewing machine !!!
Excatly the same as this one... Ooohhh, How I do love a bargain
