Veggies that were not eaten by bugs

by This is Carrie on February 5, 2009

Since my winter garden flopped, I decided to try a few boxes of fruits and veggies from the local CSA to get my fill of local grown veggies. I’m going to try the same tactics I used with broccoli to get the kids to try this cool green cauliflower (?).

thank you for enlightening me on the ways of the CSA. hopefully i can hook up with one this summer — what a beautiful thing. btw, you can also work in a little math lesson on “fractals” with the broccoli. i love your posts.

oh, wow. That looks really cool/delicious! I’ll have to go looking for your blog on getting kids to eat their veggies! A trick every mom must know. 🙂

Could that be any prettier? It looks like a magical Cambodian temple or something. Show them photos of Angor Wat and then have the cauliflower be a magical veggie…?

That is awesome! Almost too pretty to eat.

My nephews loved broccoli and called it little trees. One of the few veggies they liked.

Those are so funky-looking. They kinda remind me of the trees on the 1970’s edition of the Chronicles of Narnia. Pretty cool veggie.

That is amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it before.

update: it was DELICIOUS. tasted just like cauliflower but maybe a tad sweeter? Still would love to find out it’s proper name.

That looks amazing! I wonder if my non-veggie eating husband would eat that if I didn’t tell him what it was? 😉

Carrie, I am working on my own SFG. David built the boxed last weekend. I’m so excited! But . . . ummm . . . where in the world do I get vermiculite and peat moss? Any suggestions? I looked online and shipping is killer.

Rebecca,

I found it all at our local farm supply. I am sure there are places out by you that would carry it. Call before you go though.
