Cauliflower grows best in cool weather and fertile, consistently moist, well-drained soil. Transplant seedlings after the danger of hard frost has passed, allowing plenty of room for growth. To produce the whitest, most tender heads, tie the outer leaves loosely over the developing curd when it reaches 2–3 inches across, protecting it from direct sunlight. Harvest when the heads are firm, compact, and fully developed before they begin to separate.
