Wild caught salmon. The life of your average wild caught salmon is quite different from that of a farmed raised fish. A wild caught salmonâs life cycle looks like this: 1. Mommy salmon swims up a river or stream for about two months and finds a spot to lay her eggsâas many as ten thousand at a time.2.inally, another environmental concern with farm raised salmon is the amount of food required. It takes three pounds of wild fish to grow one pound of farmed salmon. [8] This means farming salmon is an extremely inefficient and unsustainable way of producing food.
Cauliflower -- the heads (curds) develop quickly under proper conditions, typically growing to 6 to 8 inches within 7 to 12 days after branching begins. Harvest the mature heads (they should be compact and firm) by cutting the main stem. If the heads develop a coarse,âriceyâappearance, they have over-matured.
Fall is the prime time to grow broccoli and cauliflower in Southland gardens. Both love the bright days and cool nights of our autumn growing season. Gardeners new to our area often try to grow these vegetables in the spring--the traditional growing time in most of the rest of the country. This is a mistake in all but the coastal areas of Southern California, as spring-grown broccoli and cauliflower often do not have time to form proper heads before bolting to seed. Beginning this month, transplants for broccoli and cauliflower start showing up at local nurseries.
