cauliflower sowing

[gardenplot]

Hi
Do you think will be ok to start sowing my Cauliflower 'All Year Round'
If I pot them up in a cell tray and keep them in the greenhouse
and not sure when to do the Purple sprouting broccoli so any advice will be much appreciated

[Dobby]

I started some Alll year round Cauliflower of last week and cab the week before and the cabs are up already they are in the green house at home so we shall see
not started the broccoli of yet depends on what type it is

Cheers Dobby, Will sow my cauliflower seeds tomorrow, what cabbage have you started off, I’ve got 3 different Cabbages ‘Greyhound’ seed pk says sow feb/jul & harvest jun/oct – (summer) 'Golden Acre/Primo II'- that say to sow mar/apr- & harvest jul/sept and Savoy 'Resolution' F1 to sow in apr/may & harvest sept/nov.
The Purple sprouting broccoli say on seed pk to sow in april so will wait till then and harvest mar/apr. Must take a year to grow oh well

Hi Gardenplot - I'm going to sow my Cauli 'Andes' in Greenhouse tomorrow, as it says on the packet, but way our climate is going, and taking account regional variations then you see why there is such a wide spread on sowing dates on seed packets, but nothing ventured, nothing gained - and you can always keep some seed for a later sowing!

Just don't sow all your seeds at once folks, if you do you will either have to buy a new packet to sow again, or you will be wondering what the heck to do with all the cauliflowers that are ready at the same time!

I've always wondered why there are so many seeds in a packet - but great if you sow little & often (and have the disasters I have had!)

[gardenplot]

Oh no problem will just do about 6 of each, oh it feels so good to get started can't wait for morning

[Dobby]

I started of 10 'Golden Acre seeds from last years packet thought mybe do some more next month to spread it about a bit

[gardenplot]

only planted ½ dozen of each seeds this morning, will feedback on the outcome? When or if any progress on Cauliflower (All Year Round) Cabbage (Greyhound) Leek (Musselburgh) & Parsnip

I too started some cauli this weekend, just 6 seeds in a pot. If they fail, haven't lost too much. Plan to do 2 or 3 more sowings 2 weeks apart - I don't need too many caulis anyway.
