Cauliflower Snowball X

400 seeds

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly outdoors after the risk of frost has passed. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-draining, fertile soil in a sunny location. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering regularly, especially during dry spells. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they are large enough to handle. Cauliflower 'Snowball X' thrives in cooler temperatures, ideally between 55°F and 75°F (13°C - 24°C). Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer or compost to promote strong growth. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and reduce weed competition. Watch for pests like aphids and caterpillars and manage as needed. Harvest when the heads are compact, white, and firm, typically 70-85 days after planting.
