The end of week one or the beginning of week two, take your pick.
As you can see the Broccoli, 'Romanesco' and Cauliflower, 'Violet Sicilian' have well and truly sprouted (fifth day after planting).
I have since pinched out the smaller or weaker seedlings where more than one seed sprouted and have given them there weekly dose of Fish emulsion.
All is looking good and I'll report again next week on their progress.
In the meantime here is what Green Harvest has to say about Broccoli, 'Romanesco' and Cauliflower, 'Violet Sicilian'.
Cauliflower, 'Violet Sicilian'
Brassica oleracea Botrytis Group
Syn. Cavolfiore di Sicilia Violetto; this Italian cauliflower is a vigorous plant with broad, green - grey leaves and a beautiful violet, compact 1-1.3 kg head. The head turns green when cooked and has a sweet mild taste both raw and cooked.
A higher mineral content is responsible for the colour.
Broccoli, 'Romanesco'
Brassica oleracea Botrytis Group
Romanesco broccoli is an Italian heirloom regarded as one of the world's most visually attractive vegetables. The lime green head illustrates a fractal pattern, with spiral conical florets within a larger spiral.
It can be eaten raw or lightly cooked, and has a nutty, slightly spicy broccoli flavour.

Stewart, I'm wondering what is the dilution rate you're using for fertilizing your seedlings? Do you cut it in half for what you give potted plants? I start fertilizing mine when they develop their first true leaves.
i love romanesco!!!! it doesnt grow very well where we are sadly...
Hi Kel, I'd have thought the Adelaide Hills would be perfect. Why doesn't it grow well for you?
Hi Tessa, yes you are right I use half what is recommended for pots straight up. They seem ok with that. But if starting from the first true leaves works for you then that's ok. There is no golden rule.
Gday, I am new to running a blog and websites in general and was wanting to know how you got the "www" included
in your web address name? I see your domain, "http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7677496750939268931&postID=6357830830878142095" has the www and my web address looks like, "http://mydomain.com".
Do you know just how I can alter this? I'm using Wordpress platform. Many thanks

I must admit to ignoring it for some time while the way it seemed like long
and tedious work. If you intend to use a higher ranking then be sure
that the information on your site is very accurate and highly substantiated.
At worst - you will not be contained in their index at all.

g?blogID=7677496750939268931&postID=6357830830878142095 is difficult to do for inexperienced people?
I have been wanting to develop my own website for a while
