65 days from setting out seedlings in the garden. This is simply the best-tasting Cauliflower I've ever grown in my life, and we Parks are all big Cauliflower lovers! The flavor is rich and nutty, and if it doesn't make a convert out of even stubborn Cauliflower haters, I guess nothing ever will!But the flavor is just the beginning of this veggie's merits. The seed is Certified Organic, so you can grow it in your organic garden. The heads -- which are about 7 to 8 inches in diameter and deeply domed, with good density for extra bites in every serving! -- are surrounded by wrapper leaves that point straight up, instead of completely encircling the head. This makes harvest easier on these vigorous, self-branching plants. And if you don't want to harvest too many heads at once, Cassius is the Cauliflower you've got to grow. The heads have terrific holding power in the field, so you can cut just what you need, without worrying that the rest of the harvest may be lost. Cauliflower is a cool-season crop suitable for spring and fall cultivation. For spring, sow seeds indoors 5 to 7 weeks before setting out as soon as the soil is workable. For fall, begin seeds in late summer. Set the seedlings 18 inches apart in the garden. Pkt is 20 seeds. |
