Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring or Fall: Ideal for early spring plantings or for fall harvests, particularly in cooler climates. Plant after the last frost in spring, or 6-8 weeks before the first expected fall frost.
Planting Details
- Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in loose, well-drained soil.
- Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 30-36 inches apart.
- Light: Prefers full sun for at least 6 hours a day to promote strong, healthy growth.
- Soil: Best in loamy, slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Amend soil with compost or organic matter to ensure good fertility.
Watering and Care
- Water Needs: Keep the soil moist, especially during the head formation period. Water deeply to encourage robust root development and prevent the heads from becoming bitter.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, organic fertilizer or compost at planting time, and top-dress the plants with additional fertilizer as needed throughout the growing season.
- Mulching: Use organic mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture and keep the soil cool during hot weather.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart for proper airflow and to prevent overcrowding.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Clementine Hybrid Cauliflower typically matures in 55-75 days, depending on growing conditions. Harvest when the heads are tight, firm, and bright orange. Do not allow the heads to over-mature, as they may begin to split or lose their color.
- How to Harvest: Cut the head at the base using a sharp knife, leaving the outer leaves to protect the remaining plants.
- Storage: Store fresh cauliflower in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. For long-term storage, blanch and freeze the cauliflower heads.
