Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a cool-season crop grown for its tender, tightly formed heads in white, purple, orange, and green. These varieties bring distinctive color and texture to fresh meals, roasting pans, pickles, and the fall garden.

Give plants rich soil, even moisture, and enough cool weather to form heads without stress. Watch the developing curds closely and harvest while they remain firm and compact; some white varieties benefit from leaves gently folded over the head to protect its color.
