I grew some from seed a few years ago. Got 3-4 I think. They were a variety from the real seed company so maybe less fussy, three I got heads quite early and one took ages but then grew and grew absolutely huge and was the best of the lot. Didn't give them any special treatment but you can cover them with a fine mesh cloche if whitefly are an issue. John the water man from my allotments threw away all his cauli crop last year due to whitefly. And that's John, the allotment don. So if it can happen to him, no one is safe.

Anyone had success with cauliflower? I may have got a bit carried away at the garden centre and bought a tray of ten seedlings but got home and read they were very difficult to get a good result. I think they’re a bit fussy with soil condition and watering which in our plot isn’t going to be top level and I’m wondering if I just shouldn’t bother if the chance of reward is slim…
