- Soil requirements: Cauliflower seeds prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have good moisture retention capabilities.
- Sunlight needs: Cauliflower plants require full sun, which means they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Cauliflower needs consistent moisture to grow well. Water the plants regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Aim for about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week.
- Planting season: The best time to plant cauliflower seeds is in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. In cooler climates, you can start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date.
- Depth and spacing: Plant cauliflower seeds at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Space the seeds about 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
- Germination time: Cauliflower seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Cauliflower plants usually reach maturity in 55 to 100 days, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest cauliflower is when the heads are firm, compact, and reach the desired size, usually 6-8 inches in diameter. Harvest in the morning when temperatures are cooler to maintain freshness.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife to cut the head off the plant, leaving a few inches of stem and some leaves to protect the head. Store harvested cauliflower in a cool, humid place or refrigerate it to maintain freshness. Avoid over-maturing, as the heads can become loose and lose their quality.
