Cauliflower Candid Charm F1

Description:
Large pure white heads covered by dark green leaves, very fast to maturity. Sow March and April for cutting July to September. 45 PLANTS The traditional way is to sow in a nursery bed 1-2cm deep in rows 15cm apart, thin to 8-10cm apart and transplant after about 6 weeks to the growing site. When sowing under gl;ass or in cold frame or polytunnel, use peat pots or modules so the check at transplanting, 6 weeks later, is smaller. Water well and regularly particularly in high summer. Dig and prepare the soil for the cauliflower bed the previous year and tread afterwards to mkae it really firm, (they hate loose soil for their rooots) or the wind will rock and loosen the plants. Choose a sunny position protected from th worst of the wind. Plant spacing varies but as a general rule the linger the plants are in the ground the more space they require. Summer harvesting space 50cm each way; autumn harvesting, space 65cm each way; winter and spring harvesting, space 75cm each way.
