Keto Turkey Meatballs with Cauliflower Mash

Cauliflower

• Plant cauliflower from transplants in rich, consistently moist soil and provide a long, cool growing season.
• Blanch the heads by tying outer leaves over them once they start to form to keep them white.

Garlic

• Plant individual cloves point-up in well-drained soil in autumn or early spring, requiring a cold period to bulb.
• Ensure consistent moisture during bulb formation, but reduce watering as harvest approaches.

Oregano

• Grow oregano from cuttings or small plants in full sun and well-drained soil.
• Once established, oregano is drought-tolerant and thrives with minimal care.

• Protect cauliflower from cabbage worms by using floating row covers or hand-picking caterpillars.

• Plant marigolds near oregano to deter aphids and other common garden pests.

• Rotate garlic planting sites annually to reduce the risk of soil-borne pests and diseases.

Cauliflower

• Harvest cauliflower when the head is firm, compact, and about 6-8 inches across, before florets begin to separate.

Garlic

• Harvest garlic when the bottom few leaves turn yellow and the stems begin to soften, typically in mid-summer.
• Carefully dig up bulbs and cure them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area for several weeks.

Oregano

• Snip leaves and tender stems anytime, especially before the plant flowers for the best flavor.
• Harvest more heavily in late spring and early summer, leaving enough foliage for continued growth.
