Remember how I was raving about Romanesco cauliflower the other day? Well, this year's are a bit of a letdown. The heads are tiny! I'm sure that they'll taste great, but I had to harvest three plants for one dinner. I wonder if it is because I bought seedlings from the store? I usually start from seed, but my own cabbage seedlings this year had been completely decimated by birds and/or mice. Twice. When I took down the Romanesco plants after harvesting the tiny heads, the root system seemed to be confined mainly to what was in the seedling pots to begin with. Perhaps they were kind of old seedlings and didn't make new roots. And then they became all stunted because they couldn't get enough nutrients... Well, at least I have some harvest from that plot.
