Cauliflower 'Beta'

150 seeds

Start by sowing seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors once the soil has warmed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining, fertile soil in a sunny location. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings are large enough, thin them to 12-18 inches apart to allow room for growth. Cauliflower thrives in cooler temperatures, ideally between 55°F and 75°F (13°C - 24°C). Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer or compost to support strong growth. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and control weeds. Watch for pests like aphids and caterpillars, and take action as needed. Harvest the heads when they are compact and white, typically 60-90 days after planting, depending on the growing conditions.
