Just wanted to share my super exciting surprise! 

I'm trying to let one of each thing I plant complete it's full cycle and flower then set seed. It's great for the bees and then gives me more seed - sometimes finishing in interesting plants as cross pollination happens!

I try and collect the seeds as they are ready but every now and then I miss them and end up with sneaky 'wild' plants pop up - I've had that happen with kale, carrots, broccoli and countless flowers, but it's the first time for my purple cauli - even more exciting was that it was growing amongst other plants so I hadn't even noticed it!! 

Luckily I had noticed a big weed which made me go into a place in the garden I don't usually venture, otherwise this may have gone to flower without me even realising it was there!! This one though now is going to be taken for dinner. 

YUM!

Just in time!!!
