The cauliflower is later than usual in my garden, since a rabbit ate the top of the seedlings, and they had to be replanted from seedlings. Usually the heads have to produce in June, but these heads are almost perfect, much to my surprise. This type is self blanching, meaning the leaves curl over the head and prevent discoloration from sun exposure. Most commercial growers in my area plant in the Summer for better head formation in September when the weather is cooler.
