Sowing Information
For Summer Cauliflowers sow it repeatedly from in Spring for successive harvest late Summer to Autumn. (Dark Green). Early sowings should be under cover.
As a Spring-Heading variety - sow under cover in October, so it overwinters to make heads the next Spring. (Light Green)
Autumn Cauliflowers
Sowing Information
These are what you might call normal cauliflowers, usually ready from the end of the summer onwards. They can be a bit unpredictable as to when they actually head up , depending on the growing conditions from year to year, so don't think you've done something wrong if they come a bit earlier or later than expected.
'Verde di Macerata' -GREEN CAULIFLOWER
A rare variety from Italy that makes bright green heads!
Different flavour to broccoli, even though they look similar.
