I like the violet sicilian cauliflowers colour that you are growing. I only grow the white one.
ReplyDeleteHi Diana
ReplyDeleteI grew the purple ones for the first time last year. I only have a couple this year, they grow on quite a large plant.
The smaller white 'mini' cauliflowers take up less room.
You may have noticed I like unusual purple vegetables! ;)
