Choosing the right type of cauliflower is particularly important.
Only the early varieties with the shortest development time are suitable for cultivation under glass and plastic. Under unfavorable weather conditions, they have a greater or lesser tendency to form so-called. «pre-flowering», these are small, prematurely developed and unusable flowers. For early outdoor cultivation, they should therefore only be used in climatically favorable areas. The medium-early varieties can be universally replaced in the garden. These can be used for subsequent plantings from April to July. On the other hand, late varieties with their long development time are less recommended for intensively used gardens.
