I found that those beautiful yellowish butterflies, lay their eggs on the leaves and when they hatch they eat big holes in the leaves and sometimes in the actual cauliflower. I spray mine with water/dishwashing liquid.

I buy all my organic certified seeds from Eden seeds they say on their site if they can't deliver certain things to places but I have purchased all different types of heirloom seeds and all have so far sprouted. They're also cheaper than buying the seeds from Bunnings up here

Hey guys, the answer is no, another cauliflower head will not grow once you cut off the main one.

Once you harvest, discard the remainder of the plant as it only produces one cauliflower

Hi, this was my first attempt at growing broccoli & cauliflower from seedlings. Pretty sure I planted them mid winter. While they look as though they are flourishing, with lots of healthy big leaves - still none have produced heads! They were planted in the same garden bed as I had previously grown tomatoes, with plenty of compost & regular fertiliser added. Any idea's why? Is it possible they still might produce, this far into spring?? Thanks

Hello there, I live in Victoria in a temperate area, but have had a bit of experience growing broccoli especially and some cauliflower. Be careful which seedlings you buy, because if you buy 'green sprouting broccoli' it doesn't have a very big head, or floret. I use a Green Emperor Variety which has a much bigger head. I bought some seeds from bunnings and I think there was sixty seeds in the pack. Hope that helps a bit with your question. Thanks David
