Cauliflower Is One Of Several Vegetables In The Species Brassica Oleracea In The Genus Brassica, Which Is In The Family Brassicaceae. It Is An Annual Plant That Reproduces By Seed. Typically, Only The Head Is Eaten – The Edible White Flesh Sometimes Called "Curd" (With A Similar Appearance To Cheese Curd). Soil: Cauliflower Needs A Soil Rich In Organic Matter, With A Soil Ph Between 6.0 To 7.0. The Soil Should Be Well-Draining, But Cauliflower Needs Consistent Moisture, To Prevent Buttoning. Planting: Start Seeds Indoors About 4 To 6 Weeks Before Your Average Last Frost Date. Like Most Vegetables, Cauliflower Needs At Least 6 Hours Of Full Sun Each Day; More Is Better. It Also Needs Fertile, Well-Drained, Moist Soil With Plenty Of Rich Organic Matter. The Soil Ph Should Be Between 6.5 And 6.8 For Optimum Growth And To Discourage Clubroot Disease. To Be Sure Of Soil Ph, Test The Soil.
