To keep cauliflower for ages, wrap in a paper towel then put in plastic bag.

Cauliflowers. Years ago I cut the cauli out and forgot to pull out the plant. Months later I discovered at least 6 had grown up from the original root, and in diminishing size, each produced a cauli! In due course, more grew from those roots, and 6 months later another crop of caulis. It is a fun thing! I suggest you dig deep and dig in peelings, compost fertiliser, in a sunny sheltered spot and plant one cauli. When the older ones die, I cut them out being careful not to disturb the roots, and from the same spot, every six months or so, lo! Six or so caulis!

I have grown cauliflower for many years and it is not uncommon to have only a few leaves covering the cauliflower. The leaves are delicious & can be used anywhere silverbeet, or puha is. My daughter loves this green better than any other. I’ld be interested to see what others think.
