For a thriving cauliflower crop next year, sow winter-hardy varieties like ‘Aalsmeer’ now! Start seeds in trays (1 per cell), shelter in a greenhouse/cold frame over winter, then transplant in spring for a bountiful harvest. 🥦 Guide: vegplotter.com/grow-guides/...

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!

I waited out the heat last year and then we got the slammed with below average temperatures for NC. Was a horticulturist and landscape contractor for 40 years and am so glad I’m not trying to cope with this crazy climate along with anxious clients.
