Planting and Care for Cauliflower
Sowing: Sow seeds ¼-½ inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil, ideally starting in a seedling tray for transplanting. Keep soil consistently moist during germination.
Growing: Requires cool temperatures and regular watering to form firm curds. Provide adequate spacing (15-18 inches) between plants for proper head development. Some varieties benefit from tying outer leaves over the curd to keep it white (blanching).
Harvesting: Harvest once curds feel firm and compact, typically 70-90 days after sowing, before the curds begin to loosen or discolor.
Precautions While Growing Cauliflower
Sow within the cool season window, as warm temperatures prevent proper curd formation
Maintain consistent watering, as irregular moisture affects curd quality
Watch for cabbage worms and aphids; use organic pest control methods where needed
Harvest promptly once curds are firm, as overripe curds can loosen and discolor
