Growing tips

  • Soil needs be rich, mix aged manure or compost in to the soil bed.
  • Transplant seedlings 2 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost date.
  • Set plants 18 to 24 inches apart to give enough clearance for leaves growth.
  • In early spring, cover plants to protect from frost.
  • Fall crop can be planted about 8 weeks prior to the first fall frost date.
  • Cauliflower does not like any sudden environmental changes such as temperature, moisture and soil nutrition which may result in premature head development.
  • For best growth, side-dress the plants with a high-nitrogen fertilizer 3 to 4 weeks after transplanting.

When the white head is about 2 inches in diameter, tie the outer leaves together over the head and secure with a rubber band, tape, or twine to keep light out.
