    As far as I know, you eat the cauli's befrore the flowering stage so unless you are wanting to grow cauli's for seed for the following year, there shouldn't be a problem!

      Cauliflowers and broccoli - the bits you eat are the immature flower buds so they don't need pollinating. If you leave them in the ground past picking stage the "curds" we eat will develop long stalks and yellow flowers. These, if pollinated will set seeds for future crops.

      Enviromesh sounds a good idea to me, I've thought about it too - especially after last year when my cabbage crops were decimated by caterpillars and whitefly.
