Thompson & Morgan

Start your cauliflower growing journey with confidence as Thompson & Morgan Cauliflower Boris F1 Hybrid Seeds promise reliable results for both beginners and experienced gardeners, producing strong plants that thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. You'll enjoy compact growth up to forty-five centimetres tall and generous heads perfect for harvesting from June to September, making them ideal for home gardens or allotments. Each packet contains approximately fifteen seeds, delivered with clear growing and care instructions to help you achieve a successful early harvest even in cool climates. How to grow: Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 21C (70F) until after germination which takes four to seven days. Transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3") pots and grow Cauliflower plants on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and plants are large enough to be transplanted outdoors. Gradually acclimatise Cauliflower plants to outdoor conditions over seven to 10 days before planting in a sheltered position on firm, rich fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well-rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lessen the risk of clubroot. Plant cauliflowers at a distance of 25cm (10") between plants each way for 'baby heads', and 60cm (24") apart for larger heads. Cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. The pack contains 15 seeds.
