Description of the best varieties of cauliflower - according to gardeners
Author: Natalya Baskova
Cauliflower is well suited for growing in the middle zone, and this healthy vegetable has a lot of fans. How to choose a good cauliflower seeds, and will be discussed in our review.
The choice of variety depends on the region of cultivation.. In the northern part of Russia with a short summer it is better to plant hybrids of early ripening. For the Middle band suitable for both early and mid-season varieties and hybrids. Cultivation and late cauliflower through seedlings with a sufficient race is allowed.
Cauliflower likes moderate temperatures and high humidity. Sowing seeds for seedlings carried out in late March, you can sow later immediately in the greenhouse or greenhouse. The most common problem when setting up a head of cabbage is the lack of boron and cobalt. Therefore, during the formation of inflorescences (the end of the seedling period and a week after planting in the ground), these micronutrients need additional feeding. If you are late with top dressing before the head appears, then this can provoke premature flowering.
To extend the season of consumption, cauliflower seeds are sown at different times with an interval of 1 to 2 weeks or use additional summer planting in the ground.

How to grow a good crop of cauliflower?
Many summer residents after several unsuccessful attempts to get a quality crop refuse to grow cauliflower. The main reasons for disappointment are the invasions of the caterpillars and the poor setting of the head.
In the cultivation of cauliflower, the decisive role is played not so much by a good hybrid or variety, as by the correct preparation of the beds, compliance with the terms and conditions for growing seedlings, regular watering, and prevention of pest infestation and the development of diseases. Experienced gardeners eagerly share their secrets for growing cauliflower:
- it is better to acquire reliable varieties that have proven themselves in a particular region;
- seedlings are grown at a temperature of 5 - 10 degrees;
- for planting the bed is filled with dolomite flour and boric acid: 5 kg + 40 g with a consumption of 100 g / m2;
- it is necessary to introduce humus and ash during the growing season with superphosphate;
- solar sites are chosen for planting, but when the head is formed so that it does not turn yellow, the outer leaves are tied up in a bunch or covered with a covering material;
- To protect against pests, use light and thin lutrasil on arcs, under which cauliflower can grow from the moment of planting.
On hot days, plantings need shading from the scorching sun, but the beds for light-loving vegetables should not be done in partial shade.
Have a good harvest!
