Sowing and care
Indoor preculture in pots is possible from the end of January. From mid-April to the end of June, sow seeds outdoors and lightly press them into the soil. Prick out in the cotyledon stage, as soon as the first leaves appear. Plant out from April on after hardening the plants off. Keep a planting distance of 50 x 50 cm.
Cauliflower needs lots of nutrients and very rich soil, plenty of water, fertilizers and additional heat. As soon as the flower appears, it should be covered with a leaf in order to protect it.
