Is your CAULIFLOWER head showing a tint of purple colour?
.
If so, don't panic.
.
This tinting of your CAULIFLOWER head is caused by a naturally occurring pigment called anthocyanin which is found in a lot of your favourite veggies like grapes and eggplants. Prolonged sun exposure causes this discolouration
.
Although you may find the flavour of a purple tinted CAULIFLOWER strong and perhaps a tad bitter, it is quite harmless and edible
.
If you prefer to keep your CAULIFLOWER white as snow as sold in supermarkets, try blanching it - the process of covering the growing head with leaves so the sun does not burn the sensitive immature flowers (curd). We'll be doing this soon
.
Some CAULIFLOWER varieties do the blanching for you but for those varieties (like ours) it's best to wait until the leaves grow big enough and then tie them over the developing head ✅

A jungle of hidden CAPSICUMS
.
We hope that our PEPPERS will survive our winter to welcome spring but so far, the indications are good even though we lost a small branch in the last week seemingly to cold weather.
.
When peppers are on the way out, they form woody stems but as long the main trunk remains relatively strong we are in with a chance ✅
