I previously posted asking if anyone had advice for growing Broccoli Romanesco. I found my answer thanks to my wife and 2 helpful people (TWC015 and LittleMinnie) on the Baker’s Creek gardening forum.
The plant in question lived through the winter (problem number 1) and it is a plant that should be grown in early spring or late in the summer for a fall harvest (problem number 2).
What is interesting to me is that plant is commonly referred to in my part of the U.S. as “broccoli romanesco,” but it appears that it is actually a type of cauliflower.
I’ve replanted and have sprouts coming up now for some new plants and with some luck I’ll get some cauliflower romanesco that looks like the photo in this post instead of what mine looked like in the previous post.
