Prepared (removed weeds & encroaching grass & dug over) the bed where I'm going to plant all the baby Romanesco thingies in the ground, now they're big enough. Everything is ready, including recycled (thrown out by someone else, apparently because it was grubby & had plants growing through it - took half an hour to fix that) netting* to keep greedy leaf munchers (yes, you, you bloody pigeons!) off, & 25 metres of blue plastic pipe to provide arched supports high enough. Should be done tomorrow.
Oh, & some watering. Then it rained.
Neither of us had tried Romanesco cauliflower until last year, when one arrived in a lockdown veg box as a substitute for something else. Mrs B looked at it with grave scepticism, but agreed we might as well try it. She loved it.
*Acquired three lots of this recently. One white strip about 5 metres long & less than 2 (6'?) wide, hole-free but old-looking, one blue about the same length but a bit wider, newer-looking but otherwise worse condition, & a bloody enormous blue-green thing about 2 metres or so wide & 20 long. There's nowhere we can use something that big in one piece, & it has a few big rips, so it's being cut up into usable pieces, with some of the lengths decided by the locations of the biggest holes.
