“It’s too heavy grandma” 4 year old grandson Rupert complained when asked to hold my cauliflower for a photo-op last year. I didn’t have the same problem this year, that’s for sure.
I have been gardening and writing about gardening for thirty years so I was basically bragging about growing the biggest and best cauliflower crop ever. Until I flunked out.
Dear Donna
To-day we noted a dense infestation of red bugs on one of our ‘pseudo sunflower plants’ – with a ‘pseudo-ant-like’ appearance.
The picture shows the poor growth with the ’enemy’.
If you have rich good soil packed with microbes ready to break down shredded leaves then add the leaves right away. The leaves will disappear quickly. If you are not sure if you have a microbe packed soil, then add a small layer (1/4 inch) of high quality worm castings on top of the shredded leaves so you are inoculating your leaves and soil. Worm castings are like pro-biotics for your garden.
