Planting Tips for Success

• Plant in full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct light daily, in rich, well-drained soil.
• Amend the soil with compost before planting. Cauliflower is a heavy feeder and performs best with steady fertility.
• Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or sow outdoors according to your local planting calendar.
• Transplant or thin seedlings with enough room for good air circulation and head development.
• Keep the soil consistently moist. Irregular watering can cause small heads or poor curd development.
• Feed with a balanced fertilizer as plants grow and side-dress when heads begin forming. Avoid excessive nitrogen late in the season.
• Tie outer leaves over developing heads when needed to protect the white curds from sunlight and help maintain their color.
• Harvest when heads are firm and tight, cutting with a sharp knife and leaving a few leaves attached for protection during storage.
