Instructions
Cauliflower is a cool season crop seeds indoors and should be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting in their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant and row spacing directions below. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist, but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.
- Planting Depth: 6 mm (1/4in.)
- Seed Spacing: Sow Cauliflower Early Snowball seeds roughly 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) apart in rows, keeping rows approximately 60 cm (24 in.) apart.
- Plant Spacing: 45 cm (18 in.)
- Instructions for Nutrient Care: Apply SUPERThrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.
Suggestions
Growing Suggestions:
- Cauliflower grows best when temperatures do not exceed 24°C (75°F). Low 0°C (32°F) or high greater than 27°C (80°F) temperatures decrease plant growth, lower yields and decrease head quality.
- Row covers can be used to protect plants from frosts and insect pests.
- As the head enlarges, it will discolor (look yellow) and develop bitter flavors if exposed to the sun. Blanch the head by tying the leaves together with strong twine or rubber bands when the heads are the size of a golf ball 5-7 cm (2-3 in) in diameter. This keeps the sun off the head and helps whiten them. Head are ready to harvest when they are fully developed 15-30 cm (6-12 in) in diameter, compact and blanched white.

"Planted seeds on a Saturday and by Monday they were already sprouted"
They arrived in a timely manner, which is what I am reviewing here.
"I can tell you more about the product once they start to grow and after I get to eat the results!! It's far too early for me to respond to the questions that follow. Ask again in the month of November, which is when I expect the cauliflowers to be ready to pick. Since I can't close this review unless I answer the questions, I am going to click on the lower or least response just to be able to submit it."
"Conforme à la description :) Elles ont rapidement germé"
