Kick off your garden with plant starts from Chicken Little Farm. All plant starts will be timed to be ready for May Long weekend (May 16, 2026), typically in 4-inch nursery pots. Preordering will help me know how many of each variety to start, ensure that the plants you want are available, and provide a 10% discount for each plant. Pickup will be in Treherne, either on one of 2-3 set days in May or as arranged individually.
Days to maturity: 75
Photo and description from seed supplier:
"This cauliflower lives up to its name with its amazing ability to hold its texture and flavour in the field or garden. Amazing can be harvested as baby heads or full size. At maturity, the 25cm (10") heads are large and self-blanching. Some cauliflower varieties develop heads that are open and exposed to sunlight, but Amazing has large outer wrapper leaves that grow upright, sheltering the head from the sun. As a result, the heads do not need to be harvested with any great urgency, and you can pick them as you need them. The plants are medium sized, with domed, tightly packed curds, and they're not particularly fussy about temperature stress, either cold or hot. If you've had trouble in the past growing cauliflower, try Amazing—it's an excellent choice for cauliflower newbies."
