Cauliflower - Aalsmeer

A vigorous variety with good quality curds which are well protected. A Walcheren Winter type.

Sowing Time: Sow seeds between May to June

Germination: Germinates at 8 - 30°C.

Sowing Instructions: Sow seeds in February into individual pots or seed trays with a good seed compost and cover with 6mm (¼in) of compost at a minimum of 70F, until germination which takes around 10 days. Alternatively, can be sown thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (½in) deep, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.

Growing Instructions: When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant seedlings into larger pots, or transplant from the seedbed around 4-5 weeks from sowing. Allow 14in between plants each way for baby heads and (20in) each way for larger heads. Plant firmly to obtain best quality heads.

After Care: An abundant supply of water throughout the growing season is important.
