An incredibly versatile vegie, cauliflower can be grown and harvested to make a cheesy cauliflower bake, mashed cauliflower (the kids won’t know the difference!) or low-carb cauliflower ‘rice’. Give it the right growing conditions from the start and you’ll be rewarded with an abundant crop!
How to grow cauliflower in a garden
- Fill starter pots or trays with Seed Raising Mix. Sow seeds, cover, firm down and water well. Keep the soil moist so the seeds don’t dry out.
- While the seedlings are growing, choose a sunny spot in the garden and prepare the planting area well by digging in Dynamic Lifter Soil Improver & Plant Fertiliser. Add a little Yates Hydrangea Pinking Liquid if soil is acidic.
- Once seedlings have emerged, feed weekly with Thrive Vegie & Herb Liquid Plant Food. Allow seedlings to grow to about 7cm before transplanting.
- When transplanting them into your prepared garden bed, ensure seedlings are well spaced – at least 30 to 40cm apart. Mulch with an organic mulch, such as sugar cane or pea straw and water in well.
- Feed weekly with Thrive Vegie & Herb Liquid Plant Food to ensure strong root development and a fruitful crop.
How to grow cauliflower in a pot
- Choose a pot that is at least 300mm wide and 300mm deep. Position in full sun and protect from strong winds.
- Fill the pot with quality potting mix, such as Potting Mix with Dynamic Lifter.
- Sow seeds, cover, firm down and water well.
- Once the seedlings emerge, feed weekly with Thrive Vegie & Herb Liquid Plant Food.
