    That's no cauliflower, this is Melo and you are in the wrong thread.

    Romas grow best in the type of soil we have down here...I normally plant the "Heinz 57" Romas which are the exact maters that Heinz uses to make their ketchup...not real juicy but very meaty with very little seeds.

    Also gonna give these a try this year...just germinated them...I'll be pleasantly surprised if they anywhere big as the say;

    "The world's largest sauce tomato!

    Full Description

    It's SuperSauce! The new tomato superhero. A whole lot bigger, a whole lot better, a Roma with aroma. Weighing in at 2 lb., a whopping 5.5" tall x 5" wide, SuperSauce produces gallons of luscious sauce from a single plant harvest - one tomato fills an entire sauce jar. Very few people in the gardening world consider a paste tomato for anything other than making paste or sauce. SuperSauce also makes a superlative salad tomato; it's perfect for a meaty and tasty hamburger slice too. Indeterminate, disease-free plants yield a summer-long supply of the exquisitely flavored marinara, tomato gravy or meat sauce plus plenty for salads and slicing. SuperSauce takes 7-12 days to germinate."

    Just transplanted all the tomatoes. Each little plant got a scoop of organic fertilizer mix and spoonful of special tomato fertilizer and was tucked into a short piece of PVC piping to keep tomato cutworms off.

    Six San Marzano cooking tomatoes.
    For eating raw, two each Pineapple, Persimmon, Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra, Orange Peruche, Berkeley Pink Tie Dye, Cosmonaut, Japanese Trefile Black, Momotaro, Chocolate Cherry. Rainbow coalition of tomatoes.

    I love tomatoes. I mostly love cherry tomatoes and heirlooms. I love tomatoes that are refrigerator cold, sliced, salted and peppered raw. OMG, so delicious. I also love tomatoes sliced in half and grilled on the grill, My Goddamned diet says don't eat them so I don't eat them until the craving rises to an explosive level, sort of like after several cups of coffee when I should have switched to decaf several cups of coffee ago.
    Warning, do not get between me and my targeted tomato no matter how much you mean well.

    I thought tomatoes were more a female reference.

    BTW nightshade plants are fine as long as you don't eat the leaves.

    And of course a cat can supply you with protein. Lucia frequently offers to share.

    Moroccan lentil & chickpea soup simmering on stove. That used all my chicken stock so another batch of chicken stock pressure cooking in Instant Pot. Famous cauliflower roasting in oven. Aforementioned artichokes braising in slow cooker. Should have been born an octopus, could use more arms.
