This is a field of Cauliflower--the leaves are so huge the actual white heads of cauliflower are hidden.
This is how cauliflower is harvested. It is cut, handed to the wrappers who are the back of a truck, wrapped and boxed right in the rows.

I have picked a lot of hampers full of tomatoes at 5 and 10 cents a hamper and don't want any more of that work. I was young then and my back wasn't ridden by arthritis. I guess it would be nice to ride while you pick but I am sure there are some down sides to that too. Your photos are nice.
Looks like hard work, I wonder how much they make.
Mmmmmm, fresh veggies like this...steamed with cheese sauce. Ya, baby.
Mine's posted if you'd like to stop by...it's of one of my "children"....
Farmers grow cabbages here in the Holland Marsh and some broccoli but I'm not sure about cauliflower. Something else for me to check out. ;-) Nice pics!
Wow, that's amazing. We have harvesters in our area now picking apples. They work hard for so little.
Ummmm! Another interesting post.
Great post lot's of us have never seen a Cauliflower field... :-)
What a neat post. I had no idea they packaged it right in the field. We had such a lousy summer I had big leaves, but nothing to eat!
Love your field posts from the valley, MB! Always interesting. The large outer leaves looks so much like collards which I relish, but apparently they are not so good to eat.
Another educational post with beautiful photos!!
Hey, when the soup is ready can someone call me? Please?
Marvellous post, with amazing photographs of simple daily rural life!
In my blog it exists award for you!
Wow! I'm a very good gardener but my cauliflower sure never looked that good! I also did not realize they were packaged right then and there.
Well, I picked a lot of crops during my youth, growing up in the Willammette Valley. I even harvested cauliflower one late summer before I went off to college. But our pickings always went into big totes, which were trucked off to a cannery/processing plant. It was not destined for the fresh market. Packaging in the field is new to me.
