CAULIFLOWER                        Approximately 8,000 seeds per OZ
PLANTING: Start seeds 4-6 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Use Jiffy's 7, peat
pots or flats with inserts with a good soil substitute, like Berger BM-2. Place seeds 1/4"
deep. Keep moist. Germinate at 60-70F until they emerge. Transplant outdoors after
plants are 4-6" high. Young cabbage plants can take some frost. Place plants in a row,
12-18" apart. You need 10,000-12,000 plants per acre. HARVEST: Protect heads from
sun by tying outer leaves over heads. This will blanch heads to a creamy white. After
curds are well formed, cut just below head. Use fresh or can for later use.
PKT size: F1 or hybrids 1/128 oz          rest 1/10 oz

planted to mature in late summer. It is more heat tolerant and uniform. Seed maybe treated.

cauliflower leaves and broccoli type head. Purple florets used raw for dips and salads. Turns
deep green when cooked. Seed maybe treated.
