I was at the plant nursery near my area. When I was waiting for my turn at the cash counter, I saw some packets of seeds at the side of the counter. I found a packet with cauliflower seeds. I was keen to try to grow cauliflower from the seeds so I bought 1 packet.
I left it on the garden shelf and totally forgotten about it until many months later.
I sprinkled a few seeds in a pot of soil and only 1 seedling sprouted.

I forgot to keep track of the days it took to grow to this big.

This was 7 weeks later from photo #1
The leaves are glossy and waxy, looked like the kai lan veggie.
Photo #3 (3 days later)
I used normal garden soil and exposed it to the morning sun.
Photo #4 (2 days later)
I have been keeping a close watch, waiting for a sign of the cauliflower head.
Photo #5 (same as above)
Photo #6 (1 month later)
Ahhh! At last a small cauliflower head appeared!
Photo #7 (17 days later)
I don't know how big it will grow to.
Photo #8 (1 week later)
It looked like it is not growing any bigger. So I decided to harvest my first cauliflower from my garden. Feeling happy with the harvest! Now, I am looking forward to grow cauliflower again hoping for a better harvest.

For God, who gives seed to the farmer to plant,
and later on good crops to harvest and eat,
will give you more and more seed to plant and
will make it grow so that you can give away more
and more fruit from your harvest.

DeleteIt was exciting to see it grow right in front of my eyes with your good photos! Did it taste good?
ReplyDeleteYes, it was very fresh and taste much better than store bought ones.
DeleteI find it hard to grow cauliflower...although I think it is good to grow your own cauliflower because I often see farmers spraying chemicals on then in order to look big and beautiful, they say this is the trick but we don't want the chemical stuck to it - yikes! I'm glad you managed to bloom one that you grew yourself. well done - I can imagine how delicious that is fresh and raw:)
ReplyDeleteWe seldom buy cauliflower because of the chemicals used on them. Hope to grow more in the near future.
DeleteWell done, hoe grown vegetables always taste so much better.

ReplyDeleteI always think the cauliflower we buy come from China and therefore have pesticides and dunno what.
I seldom buy cauliflowers for fear of the pesticides.
DeleteMy Hubby grows veggies and it's always an honor to cook and serve them.
ReplyDeleteYou both make great partners! One grows, the other cook!
