Early summer I planted what I thought was cauliflower seeds. They have grown up fine and into hearty, thick green leaved bunches of what I think is actually LETTUCE and not cauliflower. My only thought is that perhaps I am wrong or have my soil acidity way off and thus the cauliflower plants (the cute tasty white part) has just not grown in yet.
Can someone with more knowledge than me regarding this please weigh in on the matter?
The Question: Is this plant a type of LETTUCE or is it CAULIFLOWER?
Seriously. Help.
Here are the pics~

Katie,
I've not grown cauliflower but as a cabbage relative (the cauliflower, not me! LOL), the leaves have always looked more like cabbage to me than what your pictures show. Your pictures look like romaine lettuce to me -- but I certainly could be wrong. And it occurs to me (as I retype this after deleting my first comment) that there could be different types of cauliflower plants, like there are different types of lettuce, or cabbage, etc.
Here's a link that I found:
