Growing Information:

Cauliflower

CULTURE: In general, cauliflower is grown like cabbage. High fertility, an abundant supply of moisture throughout the season, and "sweet" soil (pH 6.4-7.4) are important.
PLANTING: Sow 1/4" apart indoors or in outdoor seedbeds or cold frames from early March through June. If possible, keep soil at least 70°F (21°C) until germination, and 60°F (16°C) thereafter. Transplant small seedlings to 1 1/2-2" plug trays. Transplant outdoors when 4 to 5 weeks old; older plants are generally too checked in growth for good performance! For early spring planting, harden plants carefully by gradually increasing cold before transplanting out, 18" between plants and 24-36" between rows.
DISEASES, INSECT PESTS, AND IMPORTANT NOTES: See under "Cabbage".
BLANCHING: When small white heads become visible through leaves, gather the outer leaves over the head and tie with string or a large rubber band to preserve white curd color. Although tying is not necessary to grow cauliflower, the practice helps prevent yellowing of the curd due to exposure to sunlight and results in better head quality when curd develops during hot weather.
HARVEST: Keep an eye on development, cutting heads when desired size is obtained but before the curd becomes loose.
STORAGE: Store at 32°F (0°C) and 95% humidity for 2-3 weeks.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting; add about 20 days if crop is to be direct-seeded.
AVG. PRECISION SEEDING RATE: 4,000'/oz., 4 oz./acre at 2 seeds/ft. in rows 36" apart.
TRANSPLANTS: Avg. 5,600 plants/oz.
SIZED SEEDS: Standard except where noted.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: 90,000-170,000 (avg. 128,000).
PACKET: 100 seeds sows 22-24'.
