1. Cauliflower: A common cabbage family vegetable is usually bred for chilly or mild weather, which is ideal for the harvest. Seeds are first planted in shaded seedbeds or seedling trays. Healthy seedlings are placed into raised beds after 30-35 days of sowing. To produce large cauliflower heads, plants require a chilly temperature and full sunlight. ‘Cauliflower curd’ should be ready to harvest 85-90 days after transplantation. If conditions are unfavorable, cauliflower may experience ‘bolting’ (early blooming, no curd) or ‘buttoning’ (small non-edible heads). A healthy seed, the proper season, and a cool, moist atmosphere around the vegetable are all necessary.

Depending on the variety, edible roots can be harvested 80-100 days after seed sowing. Loosen the soil roughly one-and-a-half times the projected length of the carrot.
