Thanks - I finally got a couple to grow and I harvested the first one this morning because the curds were starting to separate. It is very small (I don't expect them to be as big as a store bought one) but kind of greenish and discoloured. Is it safe to eat do you think?

I planted cauliflower some months ago and the plants are going nuts. They look really healthy and are getting quite big but there is no sign of a head yet. Will it come or is it too late. Why wouldn't the heads be forming?

Be patient, they grow huge and quite slowly.

Hi Karen had the same problem till told by a commercial grower to tie all the leaves together over the head and water well each day walla it worked

Thanks Bruce. I have no idea what is eating them. One night they are there and in the morning completely eaten. Will try dipel. Cheers keith

You don't say what is eating your plants such as snails or small grey match head size bugs. Di-pel is available at local garden shops for cabbage moth(grey bugs). It is not a chemical and acceptable for use by organic gardeners. You need to read the label to understand how it works. Bruce

How do I stop my cauliflower heads from being eaten. I have put down pea straw. I do not want to use chemical sprays.
