have tried tying the leaves also len but still they turn purple.
i was wondering if it was something in the fertilizer that I use.
I tried one the other night and they tasted the same.

not sure nancy?

but could the developing flower head be getting too much direct sun on
it?

i find i need to tie the outer leaves up around the developing heads
like a bonnet so they stay nice and white, don't think the colouration
alters taste or dietry benefits at all though.
