Winter Cauliflower
« on: February 15, 2009, 20:06 »
Can anyone recommend a variety of cauliflower suitable for cutting from December to March?  Will have to be ok outdoors as no cold frame etc available.

 Hi Wombat, I've just bought Walcheren Winter Pilgrim from T@M but it says its ready in spring. I don't know any variety thats ready for cutting that early.

That's fantastic, thank you.  I've tried a few websites but not been able to find anything.  They even have a cauliflower chart at www.tuckers-seeds.co.uk/pdf/cauliflowerchart.pdf showing what varieties are ready each month of the year.

Hi,

You could try 'All the year round'
The plant is basic, not an F1, but a good cropper producing large white heads in a short amount of time

I'd seen All The Year Round listed but, paradoxically, it only seems to crop July to October!  Is it worth a try at other times of year?

 I've got a packet of a All year round as well Wombat, but I'm only using it as an early summer variety.
