 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.
