Cauliflower

Cauliflower has a reputation for being one of the harder vegetables to grow well, and honestly, that reputation is fair. It wants steady, cool temperatures and consistent care to form a nice, tight head instead of a loose, bitter one. But don’t let that scare you off. With the right timing and a bit of attention (including blanching the head to keep it that beautiful white color), you can absolutely grow good cauliflower at home, even as a beginner. It’s worth the extra effort for how much better it tastes fresh from your own garden. Below you’ll find our step-by-step tips for growing cauliflower successfully, including how to fix the most common problems.
