In cool climates plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks after the last average frost date. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March.

Cauliflower - Brocoverde The Cauliflower Brocoverde, 'Brassica oleracea', is a very sweet tasting cauliflower that deserves a place in your garden. If you like cauliflower, then try this new, green variety. The taste is quite sweet, and Brocoverde takes the spring heat better than regular cauliflower, thus making spring plantings more successful in northern climates. Either raw or lightly steamed, you will love the flavor of Brocoverde. The Brocoverde are a green headed, semi-domed cauliflower with 1 pound heads. Plant in the early spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost or late summer, 12 weeks before the first frost for fall harvest. Keep soil moist and water deeply at least once a week. Harvest the heads when buds are tight by cutting the stalk below the head. |
