This is the first year I have grown cauliflower, but I love eating it (especially with onion dip HA). I had no idea what to get but this was called Amazing Cauliflower so I couldn’t go wrong … right? The first head matured and was cut today, and it really is quite amazing. The taste is hard to describe. It’s almost like the store-bought stuff is a bit bitter and under-ripe, but this was nearly sweet and softer in flavor.

The garden is hanging in there, despite all the rain. At least the forecast for this week alternates sun and rain, so it should be able to do okay in that. (And I don’t have to water!) The cooler-weather crops like radishes, broccoli, cauliflower and parsley are loving this late spring. Some of the more hot-weather fare is hurting a tiny bit, like melons, cukes and green beans, but overall they are all holding on and waiting out the weather.
