Yellow Cauliflower head

[chell25]

First time growning anything so learning lots.
Got so excited when i see my first Cauliflower head growing, it was going really well then all of a sudden it has turned yellow and started sprouting like brocalli.

I know the yellow is where the sun has got to it. The leaves did open up so the head was exposed to the sun, should i have placed a leaf over it to stop the sun light getting to it? and what about the sprouts?

Any ideas? I will get some pics when next down there.

Well if it is too late, then maybe i will make a soup with it them, rather than throwing it.

Thanks a lot
