Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring or Fall: Plant early spring after the last frost or late summer for fall harvest. Freedom Hybrid cauliflower thrives in cooler temperatures, with optimal growth between 55-75°F (13-24°C).
Planting Details
- Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in well-drained soil, ensuring they are lightly covered.
- Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation. Rows should be about 30-36 inches apart.
- Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially during warmer days.
- Soil: Grows best in loamy, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Enrich soil with compost or organic matter to boost fertility.
Watering and Care
- Water Needs: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during head formation. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Water deeply at the base, not on the foliage.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or organic compost before planting and during the growing season to promote healthy growth and strong heads.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around the base to maintain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Mulch also helps suppress weeds.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart for proper airflow and space to grow.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Freedom Hybrid cauliflower typically matures in 60-85 days. Harvest when the heads are compact, smooth, and white. Avoid waiting too long, as the heads can become overripe and lose quality.
- How to Harvest: Use a sharp knife to cut the head at the base, leaving the outer leaves for protection. For optimal storage, remove any excess leaves around the head.
- Storage: Freshly harvested cauliflower can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. For long-term storage, consider blanching and freezing.
Perfect For
- Home Gardens: Ideal for gardeners looking for a high-yield, disease-resistant cauliflower variety that is easy to grow and manage.
- Cool-Season Gardens: Perfect for planting in cooler weather, either in early spring or fall, where it can thrive without the risk of heat stress.
