I haven't grown cauliflower, but I've read that you have to "blanch" the
heads to get white heads. That means covering the head with the leaves and
maybe securing them with a rubber band. I'm sure someone else can give you
better info.

Cauliflower and I don't get along. This is the second year I've tried to
grow
it and...well, it's pinkish hue just didn't look too appetizing to me. What
am
I doing wrong? I planted my transplants in April. Fertilized with Miracle
Gro,
dug in manure before planting, squished the caterpillars and rinsed off the
poo, thankyouverymuch. Am I missing something?
