Kept them well watered, and a lovely crop of caulis resulted.

The words "lovely" and "cauli" make bad bedfellows. The stuff is hardly
edible.

Steamed so that they are still crisp, they are scrumptious. Covered with
a cheese sauce and baked in the oven they are even better.

Chop up the leaves and tenderer bits of stalk and add them to stews and
casseroles, simmer the rest with the tough (but not dry and gingery)
outside bits and tops and tails of On!onions, root veg peelings, tough
bits of celery etc for vegetable stock.

Nothing gets wasted here.

Any excess stock of any kind is put in ice-cube trays or bags in the
freezer, and tipped out into freezerbags when ready, making various
stocks available at the rummage of a pair of cold hands.
