Planting and care

  • Make sure that the plants have uninterrupted growth

  • 5 inches of water each week; with normal rainfall, this usually requires supplement watering
  • For best growth, side-dress the plants with a nitrogen fertilizer
  • Note that the cauliflower will start out as a loose head and it takes time for the head to form
  • Many varieties take at least 75 to 85 days from transplant
  • Be patient
  • When the curd (the white head) is about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, tie the outer leaves together over the head with a rubber band, tape, or twine
  • This is called blanching, and it protects the head from the sun and helps you get that pretty white colour
  • The plants are usually ready for harvest 7 to 12 days after blanching

  • If the heads are too small but have started to open up, they will not improve and should be harvested.
  • If the cauliflower has a coarse appearance, it is too mature and should be tossed.
  • If you want to store cauliflower, you can put the head in a plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator. It should last for about a week.For long-term storage, you can also freeze or pickle the heads.
