This Little Piggy

This little piggy will go to the harvesting basket...
This little piggy is trying to hide at home...
This little piggy we'll have with roast beef...
And of this little piggy we'll eat none...
And this little piggy is way too wee wee to be dined upon at home!

Oh dear, I am quite obviously tired. But I thought I would show off my lovely, lovely either cauliflowers, cabbages or broccoli (no I don't know which is which, but you knew that), that were all planted as seeds on the very same day.

Yep, the exact same day.

Each of these plants is in a different garden bed, and as their nurture is all the same (a bit of benign neglect on my part), the differences are purely of nature.

Interesting hey.

Ha ha, I love how their nurture is a bit of benign neglect on your part!

On no, hope you get rid of the pest that's been eating away at the plant...

Be a nice surprise to find out what they are when they come to head. Will also be nice and tasty with a little roasted piggy!!!

Brassica surprise for dinner sounds delish, and looks like that benign neglect thing is the way to go, I must admit I practice a fair bit of that myself!

Ooo! A science experiment. I wondered what you were studying...now I know.

Not all plants were intended to be equal... Even when sowing seeds of the SAME variety some will be stronger than others. This is why I always sow more than I need, and discard the weaker ones.

BTW:Is it just me, or does your blog take ages to load these days???

I like seeing which ones are stronger than others - its like a game of football or tennis - guessing which ones will come up strongest in the end. I don't guess very well but its fun.
I hope the pigs turn into cauliflower. Love the stuff at the moment with white sauce and cheese.
I used to make a cauliflower, broccoli and cheese dish - it was for my 6 month old but someone thought it was dip and loved it so baby food became entree.
