Cauliflower Octavian

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 about 1/4 inch deep in well-draining, fertile soil in a sunny location. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, and water regularly during dry periods. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart to allow for good air circulation. Cauliflower 'Octavian' prefers cooler temperatures, around 60°F to 70°F (15°C - 21°C). Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer or compost to encourage strong growth. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and prevent weeds. Watch for pests like aphids and caterpillars, and take action as needed. Harvest when the heads are firm, tight, and white, usually 75-90 days after planting.
