Cauliflower Baby White Punnet

Great flavour, easy to grow. Large leaves. Cauliflower Baby White has large green leaves and produces firm, small white sweet heads. 

With cauliflowers, the secret to success is position.  Choose a sunny position, protected from strong winds. When sowing seedlings, leave about 30cm between each plant.

Cauliflowers can be a bit fussy about their soil, so take a bit of time to prepare the
bed, about a few weeks prior to planting. Ensure a well-drained soil, chock full of well-rotted compost and organic matter as well a light application of chook poo based fertiliser pellets when preparing the bed.

To minimise the risk of pests and diseases taking hold, ensure they are
not planted into a bed that has had cabbages, broccoli, brussel sprouts or other members of the Brassiacea family within the last three years.

Depending on the variety of cauliflower you plant, leave at least 30cm between each seedling, but, to allow for them to grow to their full potential, the more space you can allocate the better.

Feed your cauliflower weekly with maxicrop seaweed fertiliser especially in the month leading up to harvest and also as heads appear, this will improve size and shape of the heads.

Depending on the cauliflower varieties planted, they can take anywhere from 12 weeks upwards before they are ready to harvest. Look for firm, tight, well-formed
heads that have not begun to flower. Cut off heads with a sharp knife as required. When cooking, dunking lightly cooked cauliflower into cold water will halt the cooking process and keep the florets bright and crisp!
