Thank you you answered my question. When I cut the cauliflower head, I was wondering if they were like broccoli and have shoots out the side for a second small harvest
Space them out more, for larger heads, other brassicas compete for same nutrients. Try beetroot, leeks, cellery , beans, fennel, garlic, as good companion plants. Thanks for sharing.
The reason I was looking for a collyflower video is that I accidentally grown it and found out today that the cabbage plug plants I planted in October (UK) turned out to be something else. A neighbour suggested I eat leaves as no heads appeared up to mid May and I needed the space for 🍅. So me and all neighbours have been cooking and eating what we believed were leafy cabbage. Haven't checked on the last three plants for couple of weeks and today I was going to cut the and compost them. But nice coliflower was in the middle. The leaves are good when cooked as well 🤣. Last year I have grown a red cabbage believing it was lettuce 🤣. what a twisted luck.
One of the good things about cauliflower is being able to eat the leaves too. So even you don't end up getting a good head on it, you still have some tasty produce to use.
I was successful for really the 1st time this yr & waited to long to harvest 6 big heads could kick myself, hoping I can salvage @ least a meal from them. Thanks also for the tips, very helpful.
That's too bad! But hopefully you can get something out of them. We had a hot dry summer here and mine didn't do as well this year either, and my best one I did the same thing and waited too long to harvest.
@@oneseedoneworld I thought I should wash them where I wasn't going to get to them right away, I actually didn't do too bad, I heard & got A lot of tips so next yr should be a lot better. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🎉
@@oneseedoneworld j actually didn't do as bad as I thought after looking into cauliflower & brown spots, I got all 6 & blanched them right up, & they look great.
@@oneseedoneworld thank you ! I have never grown veggies before so I'm loving having a space to do this - and I hope the birds or snails don't get them first. I've built a hoop house, but it won't cover all my beds :) Wait and see !
@oneseedoneworld we got this here too. A very pretty butterfly laying lots of eggs which turn into green caterpillars. Hard to see and Uber voracious!
Cauliflower will develop large leaves before the head starts to set so that could be it. But it also needs cool weather to start heading as well. If your weather has been warmer, it may just develop large leaves until cooler weather comes. Other things you can try to help it along (if temperature isn't a problem), is making sure it is getting enough fertilizer (I used an organic fish/seaweed liquid fertilizer in water). Also make sure watering is consistent, as cauliflower doesn't like it when the soil dries out). Hope that helps!
Fantastic information and video. Great production. Thank you.
Thank you!
Also keep them well watered, lots of water. And fed

Great, planting them close to each other is a beneficial strategy. You are a terrific gardener. Subbed & liked.
Thank you!
Thank you you answered my question. When I cut the cauliflower head, I was wondering if they were like broccoli and have shoots out the side for a second small harvest
Ditto, I thought they might be like Brocolli & regrow, happy to know as I pulled them after harvesting.
Hey, thanx for these tips just wondering if is't possible to start planting now because winter starts next month,than man
It depends on how cold your winters are. Cauliflower grows best in temps that range from 10 C to 21 C.
Thanx a lot man appreciate it

thank you -- beautiful video!!! The leaves are absolutely edible. I'll be growing mine over the winter here. (Australia)

@@SelfEvolutionHypnotherapy the hoophouse should definitely help. My biggest issue is the cabbage moth/worms which is a battle every year :)

@@SelfEvolutionSouthMelbourne Very true. They can wipe out a crop quick!
Thanks for your help
Thank you.
I’ve been able to harvest heads of broccoli. My cauliflower isn’t heading yet. Is that the way it normally is

Love your videos! Hello from Ontario!
Thank you!
What to fed my cauliflower when they start creating button in the center? Thanks
You can use an organic slow release fertilizer or a good compost, bunny manure, etc., to help the plant along.
Late spring, then extreme heat up here, so autumn cauliflower in hoop house it is. Seeds are started.
It definitely has been a weird weather year. It was 54 degrees when I got up this morning and by Friday it is supposed to be near 100.
@@oneseedoneworld same up here in northern wisc. More wind, t-storms & tornado watches than usual.
