Even after growing vegetables every season since 2004 at the farm and raising produce in our own gardens for several years prior to that, we can still see experience something new.
This year, we had some decent sized cauliflower in our second planting.
No, there is no photoshopping or perspective tricks going on in this photo. That's just a REALLY big cauliflower. Four pounds and fourteen ounces worth of cauliflower, in fact.
It is certainly not the prettiest cauliflower I have ever seen, but it is so spectacular in its size, I'll forgive some of the imperfections.
For comparision, a more typical sized cauliflower that happens to be the same variety, is shown in the next picture. The smaller cauliflower is just a bit over one pound - definitely something I would proudly offer to CSA customers or at market in prior years.
Unlike prior years, we did not grow all that many cauliflower this season. These were mostly for our own use. But, given the size of this one and a couple of other fairly good sized specimens, we're not sure we NEED that much!
For those who want to know, the variety name is "Amazing."
Yes, yes it is.
Its not just the size, though. This is the best TASTING cauliflower, too. Thanks R for surprising me with these last night!!
