Cultivation Advice Cauliflower Clapton F1

• Start indoors in a warm, well-lighted area from early March through June for the earliest of crops. Sow seeds ¼” deep in good compost. Keep evenly moist. Seedlings emerge in 5-8 days at 70º F. They do best covered lightly with soil. Alternatively sow directly outside from early April to June.
• Transplant seedlings outside 2-3 weeks before your last frost date. They grow best at 55º to 65º F. Do not let seedling become more that 5 weeks old because older seedlings do not mature well transplanted.
• Set plants 18″ apart in rows 24″ apart. Transplant seedlings in late June through July for September through November head harvest.
• Water deeply once a week in dry weather. Cultivate or mulch to control weeds. High fertility and abundant supply of water throughout the growing season are important
