- Sow seeds indoors in a propagator and cover with 10mm of compost
- Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged until germination occurs.
- Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots.
- Grow plants on in a bright, frost-free position until they are ready to plant outside.
- Gradually acclimatise young plants before transplanting outdoors.
- Plant out when seedlings are around 10-15 cm tall and the risk of hard frost has passed.
- Space plants around 45-60cm apart.
- Water well after planting and keep watered during dry periods.
- Use protective netting if needed to help protect the plants from birds and pests.
- Harvest when the heads are firm and well-formed.
- For baby cauliflowers, harvest when the heads are around the size of a tennis ball, or leave them to mature fully for larger heads.
