CAULIFLOWER Cauliflower requires more ‘know how’, preferring a long cool season. Pick a location that gets a minimum of 6 hours of sun. Light shade during the heat of the day is fine. Starting our heirloom cauliflower seeds in a greenhouse is ideal, but in a warm climate, direct seeding works too. Transplant seedlings 2-4 weeks before last spring frost date. Row covers are optional, but a good idea if your climate is a bit risky. In warm areas, time cauliflower transplanting like cabbage, 8 to 10 weeks before first fall frost date. When planting cauliflower

seeds, sow 10 to 12 weeks before fall frost. Space 2’ apart in rows 3’ to 4’ wide. Cauliflower requires consistent moisture. If allowed to dry out, it may start to bolt and yield loose heads. Monthly feedings and mulching are beneficial. To blanch, tie ends of leaves around heads when they are 2 to 3 inches in diameter. (Some varieties do not require this.) Cauliflower is ready to harvest approximately two weeks after blanching. Early Snowball 201CF 55 Days | Creamy white 5”-6” heads wrapped in crumpled, wavy leaves. Very early variety.

Celery does not like extreme heat or cold and requires a long season. Seedlings are most often started in inside 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost date. Starting tiny celery seeds takes care. Mix them with a small amount of sand and sprinkle on top of a good potting soil. Once large enough (6” tall), and the soil temperature reaches 50º, transplant individual plants outdoors. Space 6” to 8” apart, in rows 2’ to 3’ apart. Keep moist throughout the entire growing season. Celery does not tolerate any drought. Soil should have a high content of organic matter and composted manure. Dwarf Golden 216CL 85 Days | Blanches readily to golden yellow. Plants grow 10” - 20” tall. Well adapted to all areas.
