In the south, it’s just the opposite. The challenge? Getting seeds to thrive in August to plant in the garden in September. So hot!

Yeah, that's brutal. Quick one though — you mean south of the US, or are you somewhere else? The tricks change pretty wildly depending on how hot we're talking.

In NC and planting our cool season gardens. Early Spring no longer works for us due to excessive heat hitting us in March now. So switched to Fall plantings but today the temps are in the 90’s!

Maybe I will try again. I have never succeeded with cauliflower.

Cauliflower's a right pain, not gonna lie. What usually gets people is either the cold snap timing or they bolt in summer heat. Winter varieties like Aalsmeer are honestly your best bet since you're not fighting the weather as much. What went wrong last time?

Became very big plants but hardly any curd, some years they just don't do anything much, yet i am highly successful with most brassicas, 3.5kg white cabbages this year, the kale is wonderful & the sprouts are coming along nicely. Didn't do calabrese this year, although usually successful with that.

That seems a bit early
