You'll find sowing is simple whether you choose to start indoors or out, and the supplied care instructions make nurturing your crop straightforward from seed to harvest. Each packet contains approximately fifteen seeds, perfect for growing firm white heads from early summer through to autumn. How to grow: Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 21C (70F) until after germination which takes four to seven days. Transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3") pots and grow Cauliflower plants on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and plants are large enough to be transplanted outdoors. Gradually acclimatise Cauliflower plants to outdoor conditions over seven to 10 days before planting in a sheltered position on firm, rich fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well-rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lessen the risk of clubroot. Plant cauliflowers at a distance of 25cm (10") between plants each way for 'baby heads', and 60cm (24") apart for larger heads. Cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. The pack contains 15 seeds.
