* Cauliflower heads are not tied before frost. How to grow her?
Before frost sets in, remove unripe cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, or kale plants, plant them in boxes or large pots, buckets, or bury them in a greenhouse. When frost sets in, put them in the basement. For rearing, it is necessary to select only healthy plants with well-developed leaves and knotted heads. The cauliflower heads should be over 3 cm in diameter by this time. It can be grown in a basement or greenhouse without light, but the temperature should not be below 0 + 2 ° C.
Cauliflower grown in a basement or greenhouse, as a result of the outflow of nutrients from the leaves, by the end of November or even by the New Year, depending on the variety, can form good heads. They are cut with a small amount of upper leaves. This way they will keep better in the fridge for a long time. If the cabbage is well stored in a wrapper of its leaves, then do not rush to throw them away. Boil the leaves in salt water and use in salads with fresh vegetables, or as an independent dish - very tasty and original.
