    You have full boasting rights, mate. Chapeau.
    Not only was it a heavy one, but it just looks great as well.

    My stars! The size, the perfection of that cauliflower--I'm envious, seriously envious. How do you keep it so white?

    Just plain awesome Cauliflower, Odif.
    MG, I believe wrapping the outer leaves across the exposed
    head keeps it white. If I'm mistaken, some wiser gardener can correct me. I would love to grow a few like that.

    @marlingardener I tied the leaves up around the crown. Usually, I just pull off one of the lower leaves and shade the cauliflower that is growing.

    I don’t know, but the 2 cauliflowers that we’re near the comfrey were twice the size of the others. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

    Yes, wrap the leaves over the crown. Mine were #maller but pure white heads. They used to call me the Caulflower Queen on the allotment.
