Our Garden Planner can produce a personalized calendar of when to sow, plant and harvest for your area.
Cabbageworms are small green larvae of the cabbage white butterfly. You can use row covers to keep them from eating plants. Bend over a few leaves if required so that the cauliflower head is kept shaded while it is forming.
Harvest when the head has fully developed, but before the curd becomes loose, with a "ricey" appearance.
When plants are stressed by cold or drought, they may refuse to make heads.
