Harvest

Harvest
  • Cold-tolerant variety
  • Heads well protected from weather
  • Dense white curds
  • Keeps its texture well when cooked

Cauliflower ‘Skywalker’ is an excellent autumn-cropping variety, more cold-tolerant than most cauliflower varieties with tight, self-wrapped heads well protected from the worst of the weather. The dense white curds have good flavour and keep their texture well when cooked.

Sow indoors

February-April: Sow seeds thinly 1cm (1/2in) deep in clean trays or modules filled with firm pre-watered compost. Keep compost moist at all times.

Sow outdoors

March-May: Sow seeds thinly 1cm (1/2in) deep on a seed bed or clean trays or modules filled with firm pre-watered compost. Keep soil moist at all times. Overwinter late sowings in a cloche or cold frame. Thin to 10cm (4in).

Plant out

March-June: Plant out into the required harvest position 45cm (18in) apart with 45cm (18in) between each row when plants have 3-4 true leaves.

Tips

Cauliflowers should be grown in firm soil. Protect from Cabbage White butterfly with netting.

How To Grow

Cauliflowers are a rewarding vegetable to grow, producing versatile heads that are delicious roasted, steamed, or added to soups. They thrive in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and firm ground to stop plants rocking in the wind, which can cause bolting and poor head formation. Start seeds indoors for strong early growth, then transplant into sunny spots with space for heads to develop. Protect young plants from slugs, caterpillars, and other pests.


Indoor Sowing
Fill modular seed trays with fine seed compost and moisten before sowing. Place one seed per module to give space for roots to develop. Keep compost evenly moist using a gentle mist. Position trays in a warm, bright spot out of direct sunlight. Once seedlings develop true leaves or roots fill the modules, harden off before planting out.


Planting Out
Harden seedlings over 7–14 days by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions. Transplant into pots or directly into beds once acclimatised.


Outdoor Sowing
Choose naturally disease-resistant varieties to avoid club root. Use brassica collars to deter root fly and netting to protect from insects and birds. Plant seedlings 1cm deep, spacing 45cm between plants and 45cm between rows.
