Can anyone give me a step-by-step instruction for planting cauliflower and brussels sprouts?
I'm in cool northern region.
I started both indoor. The cauliflower went straight to seed and the BS languished and produced only a few edible buds.
I can buy giant versions of each from local farmers but I can't seem to get them right.
My father had great success with brussel sprouts and he never invested much effort into any special gardening tricks. He popped the seeds in the soil and they grew.
Thanks for the help.
About all I can tell you is that I buy broccoli plants in a 6 pack and buy brussel sprouts plants as well. They are both slow growing and I am in west Michigan so I never have started them by seed. Always have a great broccoli crop. Brussel sprouts matured and had lots of little cabbages but the deer came through and stripped them. If it was dry where you are at could be not enough water. They both like cooler weather. I have almost no experience with cauliflower.
