Cauliflowers
are a cool weather crop. Hot temperatures can reduce head development.
In summer you can cover the head with the plants leaves.
When growing Cauliflower, the soil should be prepared well in advance, especially if you are enriching the soil with organic matter. If you are sowing the cabbage seeds in spring, prepare the soil in autumn by digging in plenty of well-rotted compost or manure. The soil should have been dug deep. Cauliflower grows well in loamy, well drained soils.
