You grow them just as you would grow any other brassica. Therefore they need plenty of space, feeding, watering and netting against cabbage whites. There are some early strains of Romanesco as well as late strains which helped me to spread the crop. After picking the central stem, I find that Romanesco will crop again with smaller heads just like broccoli.

You're right Coreopsis, there does seem to be some confusion, not too sure as the taste and look is somewhere between.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

I grew some because I love cauli and broccoli and I thought they were pretty. I think I planted them too close together because they did not 'head' properly - it was more like PSB than a cauliflower. Bit disappointing though the bits that I did cook tasted good. I shall have another go this year and give them more space and TLC.

Hi Trowelanderror - I just had to respond at this stage 'cos I love your vine name and had to say welcome!
On the subject of romanesco - you have to catch these at just the right stage - I waited 5 days too long and the resultant curd was bitter...
Ah, well, that's rank amateurs for you
