Ok so near our compost box, shaded by a pine tree and in the sun at probably an ideal combo. are hard orange discs with thick roots. Tried with a hand spade to dig out and discovered these hardy knobs kept going deeper and connecting to a network of roots. Smelled tubuler and looked like cauliflower. Yes- orange cauliflower. Thing is it may have started without us knowing from pieces thrown to squirrels or simply from compost bin. My mother happened to pile used loamy soil, mulch, leaves, etc.in the same area. It just coincidently happens to be an ideal environment for it! Thing is we never tilled or prepared area it is actually part of grass covered lawn with muddier soil near fence! We live in the Niagara green belt region for anyone wondering...kudos to all growing cauliflower, we do not actually have edible crowns, but neat right?
