Things are still growing on the allotment

Three week ago when I was on the allotment, nothing much was happening with the few cauliflowers I had planted earlier this year, lots of leaves and tiny curds no bigger than a golf ball, but last Friday I went to the allotment and to my surprise there was an enormous cauliflower, when I looked closer I had 8 little cauliflower all growing nicely in the same bed too.  I could not resist bringing this one home for dinner.
It was wonderful covered with a cheese sauce, and yesterday Mike brought two more home, so guess what we had for dinner again?
The rabbits and guinea pig had some of the lovely green inner leaves and the chickens finished the outer leaves and all of the stalks, so nothing was wasted.  After a bad year for our vegetables the cauliflowers have done us proud finally.  I shall grow this variety again next year it's called Clapton.

I have been sewing, lots of things, but so much in the process and not finished yet, my waistcoat is done, I put the finishing touches to it earlier this week. I will have a number of things finished by next week, so lots of pictures to add.
