Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring or Fall: Skywalker Organic Cauliflower is best planted in early spring after the last frost or late summer for a fall harvest. The cooler temperatures of these seasons allow for optimal growth and head formation.

Planting Details

• Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil.
• Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 30-36 inches apart to give them ample room to grow.
• Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade during hot weather.
• Soil: Grows best in loamy, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Improve soil fertility by adding compost or organic matter.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water deeply to encourage strong root growth, especially during the head formation stage.
• Fertilizing: Apply organic compost or a balanced organic fertilizer before planting, and consider additional feedings during the growing season for optimal growth.
• Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds.
• Thinning: Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart to ensure proper airflow and minimize competition for nutrients.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Skywalker Organic Cauliflower typically matures in 70-85 days. Harvest when the heads are compact, smooth, and white. Do not let them overmature, as the heads may begin to open up or turn yellow.
• How to Harvest: Use a sharp knife to cut the head at the base, 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 heads.

Perfect For

• Organic Gardens: Perfect for gardeners who prioritize growing chemical-free vegetables with high-quality yields.
• Cool-Season Planting: Ideal for spring or fall gardens, where cool weather helps cauliflower thrive.
• Culinary Use: Great for a wide range of recipes, including roasted cauliflower, cauliflower rice, and cauliflower mash. It can also be eaten raw in salads or dipped in sauces.
• Disease-Prone Areas: Skywalker’s natural resistance to common cauliflower diseases makes it a strong choice for areas with high pest or disease pressure.
