GA: Pulled two more cauliflowers that bolted / unusable
Only one or two left in the ground still and I'm guessing both of those will bolt next year.

GA: A cauliflower has bolted! And tied the leaves of the other four cauliflowers
The one that bolted, the "head" is still very small BUT it went all spikey -- I tied its leaves anyway because why not, but pretty sure that one will be no good.
The other four -- one has a wee head, the others I didn't look closely into but tied them all up, we'll see how it goes. This week is a mega heat wave so I'm not too confident!

Started broccoli (Belstar & Piracicaba), cauliflower (from clear baggie), & round 2 of stevia
The stevia round 1 looks like some will hopefully take, but some not, so started round 2 to make sure I have enough.

Cauliflower all kaput
[Wrote this on April 20th bec forgot to document it back when it happened -- not sure when it was, but ~a month ago.]
First, 3 of the cauliflowers went kaput while the fourth remained looking good; then a few weeks later, the fourth cauliflower was kaput too.
No idea why...

Started cauliflower, and round 2 of leeks and green onions
Cauliflower = Early Snowball. First time really trying cauliflower.
And more leeks and green onions because the green onions had bad germination rate and not enough leeks.

Changing of the guard -- a mid-season swap out
Today, I pulled:
- 2 cabbages (1 was horribly full of slug holes, the other was just not heading up at all, maybe due to being under the roof overhang although last year's cabbages loved it there)
- 2 Brussels sprouts (1 was just wayyyyyy too huge so I pulled it after harvesting what I could; the other just wasn't looking very promising)
- 2 or 3 celery (these ones didn't have any nice mature stalks)
And I planted these, bought from Canadian Tire, which although teeny, actually look nice and non-leggy:
- 3 or 4 itty bitty broccoli
- 3 or 4 itty bitty cauliflower
- 3 or 4 itty bitty cabbages
