Cauliflower Aalsmeer Seeds

Sow indoors, April-May, 0.5cm (¼") deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant 5cm (2") apart to other trays, when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out, July-August, into well-cultivated, fertile soil. Or outdoors: sow thinly, April-May, in a seed bed, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-cultivated, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Water well until plants are established. Transplant 60cm (2') apart, when plants are about 10cm (4") tall. Allow 60cm (2') between rows. Plant firmly and water well. Harvest: March-April, the following year.
