Growing Cauliflower

View the Cauliflower page

08 Jun 15 Critters (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Currently growing a hybrid cauliflower, rather tall plant reaching between 80cm to 1 metre tall. the stem of the flowerette is a light lime green with a purple head. No detraction from the good old taste of cauli. My method is to use compost, compost and more compost, then add some more compost. Sunlight is the trigger that makes the cauli purple. Dadpad's comment tells you how to keep your cauli from turning purple, once it has turned purple it is too late to turn back the clock. Happy Gardening.
