SOWING - Temperature is a vital factor in growing cauliflower, Sow successionally into modules, thinning them at the seedling stage to one plant per module. Move them up to a larger pot when ready, this will prevent root disturbance – but don’t allow them to become pot-bound., once several sets of true leaves appear, “harden them off.” then plant into the final growing bed, Plant at least 24 inches apart.
