A field of Cauliflowers .

Cauliflower (Dutch : Bloemkool) is one of several vegetables in the species Brassica oleracea.
To keep the Cauliflower white they bind the leaves together with an elastic band. See right insert pic.

A great scene of cauliflowers against the trees and windmill in the background !

[Kitty Hawke]

Yet another huge field of greens.....loving the windmill in the distance.

[Irene]

Wonderful shot but how long it must take them to bind all the leaves up

[Beth]

Nice capture. I always love seeing this Dutch windmills. I like cauliflower but I've never seen them growing. I didn't know they had to bundle the leaves.

[Jen Hudson]

I didn't know they had to tie the leaves either, it must take ages for such a big field. Great pov and love the windmill at the far edge.

[Bep]

Al weer een prachtig stukje NL.

[Ivan]

Nice shot. I like the windmill in the distance

Hans said they do it here too. there you see, he knows more than I do. interesting. I wonder if the taste of them would be different if they turn yellow instead of white. great picture of the field and thanks for the inserts.

Wonderful capture of the cabbage and the background windmill. Beautiful.

[Ann]

Is that a windmill in the background ? Love this.fav.

[Louise & Ken]

The moment I saw the windmill, I knew whose posting this was! Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables. I DO LIKE IT, however, with a nice cheese sauce!

I'm falling asleep as I sit here, Ferry, so I'm off to get some much-needed rest! I'm glad I came to your photo before leaving!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great capture of the pretty field and I really like how you included the windmill in the background.

[Margaret Obey]

Goodness gracious Ferry. I didn't know that. Great shot!

[Denise Wood]

Looks a healthy crop :)

[Claire]

Fabulous viewpoint. Just using one now to make soup:0)

[Dione Giorgio]

I used to grow a few in my garden and I used to bind the leaves to keep the inside white, too. But that would be just a dozen or so - this field is awesomely big.

Beautiful capture - I love the leafy textures and the distant buildings, especially the beautiful windmill.

[Myrna O'Hara]

wow that is a lot of veggies and love the windmill

[Merrelyn]

Great pov. What a time consuming job it would be to bind all of those caulies :)

[Pyrrhula]

@kelly2 @jennywren @merrelyn I think it is done by a machine or with people on laying on a wide car .
@bruni I do n`t think so. Only other interest.
@Weezilou Take good care of yourself. do n`t run faster than you shadow do.
To all : O, you love windmills. Watch me.

[Diana Moss]

Great pov and love the detail in the small picture

[Sandy]

How interesting. It must take forever to bind all those leaves in such a big field.

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I love cauliflower, but I have never seen a picture of it growing like this! How wonderful!

[Jane Morley]

Lovely shot with the windmill too . The leaves are such a dark green.
