People sometimes tie cauliflowers, but that is really only to protect the "curds" from frost or too-strong sunlight.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-41802658599529641352012-03-10T18:16:45.978+00:002012-03-10T18:16:45.978+00:00Hi,

Obviously this means that next year it might be good with some brassicas in those beds and then plant peas and beans in new beds, and I'm actually really looking forward to kale and cabbages and all sorts of wonderful greens that I forgot about this year.Sørenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05498022011073557015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-63760318348718807702011-06-05T08:14:40.065+01:002011-06-05T08:14:40.065+01:00Not sure what's caused that as I've not gr...Not sure what's caused that as I've not grown Kohl Rabi before.
