Cauliflower will not grow well where temperatures average above 75°F or where winter temperatures drop below 25°F. Poor cauliflower is usually a result of improper planting time, low moisture, or low fertility. Plant your seeds indoors 5 to 7 weeks before setting them outside. Spring planting should occur as soon as the soil can be worked, and fall planting should be done around July or August. Plants can grow 12" tall.
Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.
Water regularly to keep the soil cool and moist. Keep watered during dry and hot spells.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.
Cut heads below the inner leaves when the heads are about 8" in diameter.
