I thought cauliflowers were notoriously hard to grow so you must be doing something right.

Yes I’ve heard that too- I say they’re growing but whether they actually develop into a decent cauliflower is another thing. I’ve just got a large aluminium Cloche tunnel with enviromesh/veggie mesh which I hope will deter caterpillars etc.

Found cauli pretty easy to grow.

 

Hares just got in the garden a ate all my brassica though( saw a  a bunch of them   )

 

Never had, either rabbits or hare damage  happen before, but the old cat who always used to eat rabbits died recently and  the new one  obiviously isn't up to the job. will be a pain to have to start fencing everything....

You need some sheep muck(daggings) in a hessian bag and drop it in a barrel of water for a week or two and then use it as a liquid fertilizer,its brilliant for brassicas.

Lovely bit of old time knowledge there. We could do with lots more if that.

My good lady makes a similar "potion" by collecting fresh, young nettle leaves. Makes a great high n fertiliser with a good balance of micro nutrients. 

The smell of it though.....
