A Note About Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a member of the brassica family, it does great in cooler climates and is hardy in USDA zones 2-11. Growing cauliflower takes a little bit of patience and skill but the payoffs are so worth it! Cauliflower does best when it is consistently kept moist. During hot months, it is best to mulch your cauliflower to conserve moisture.
