Vegetable Seeds - Cauliflowers
Cauliflowers are not the easiest of brassicas to grow but I think they are probably the most satisfying. A beautifully formed cauliflower with tight curds is wonderful to see and producing it is a very satisfying. As well as white varieties you can get yellow and purple ones.
There are three types of cauliflower; summer, autumn and winter varieties. Summer varieties can be sown in the cold frame in September, indoors in January or outdoors in April and some varieties may be harvested in June or July while other outdoor sown varieties will be ready during August For help in growing cauliflowers check out our guide here: Grow Your Own Cauliflowers

This old Italian cauliflower produces beautiful 10-13cm (4-5) violet/purple tight curds, which turn bright green when cooked. Much easier to grow than its white counterpart, due to the fact that you dont need to cover the curds. In fact, the more sunlight they get, the darker the colour becomes. The fact that this variety is less prone to pest damage also makes it many gardeners favourite. The smaller leaves make a great spring green, and once youve cut the head, youll be rewarded with new growth which can be used as purple sprouting broccoli.
