Cauliflower: Snowball (organic)

Grow in the brassica section of your rotation.

Sow early varieties in modules, undercover from mid-February. Later sowings can be made in the brassica seed bed during April and May.

Transplant into permanent growing position from late March to July depending on sowing time, 60 cm apart. Your transplants should be about 12 cm tall. Transplant carefully and water well.

Thin to the strongest seedling and keep well-watered.

Harvest from Summer through until Autumn depending on your sowing time. The white curds should be well formed and tight. You need to pull back the covering leaves and check them regularly as harvest time approaches. Sometimes they seem to be ready almost overnight!

Organic growing helps to protect the environment, improves soil and encourages biodiversity. Using organic seeds means that you are supporting organic farmers and acres and acres of land under organic management.

Tamar Organics started as a small organic market garden in 1994. They have been registered as producers with the soil association since that time. They added their processor license in 2000 when they became one of the first UK companies to offer organic seeds.

They are inspected every year by the Soil Association, and the plant health seed inspectorate. They participate in the GMO audit. They do not support the development of genetically modified seeds and none of Their seeds are GMs.
