Pics of my Broccoli and Cauliflower

[Catalina]

Cabin Fever! There is too much snow covering my garden, so I was looking through pics from last year to cheer myself up.

Purple Cauliflower

Veronica Broccoli

Cheddar Cauliflower

Those are beautiful! How did you get the Veronica broccoli to work for you? I tried that variety last year (mine was called Romanesco) and it did nothing. Beautiful plants, 1 splindly broccoli-raab-like stalk... Are there any tricks to it?

I don't know - pretty much I did everything wrong last year (this year will be better!) and it grew.
Did you plant from seed or start plants inside?
Also, I planted really, really early in the Spring. Some frosted off, because we got a suprise storm with 3 inches of snow.
They can't handle the summer heat.

They are gorgeous! Making me hungry... like I'm not impatient enough for spring.

Those are gorgeous varieties.... I may have to try them one year.

I planted them inside midsummer and planted outside late summer/fall. The regular broccoli did great, the Romanescos and cauliflower did nothing Anyway, great beauties!
