The 'Freedom' cauliflower is a hybrid variety to be harvested in summer and autumn. It offers large, firm heads of pure white with tight grains. The head can reach 2 to 2.5kg. This cauliflower is best consumed quickly after harvest, raw with a dipping sauce or vinaigrette, or cooked, in a gratin with béchamel sauce or steamed. Plant your 'Freedom' Cauliflower seedlings between April and August for a harvest from June to October.
From the Brassicaceae family (formerly Crucifers), the cauliflower is cultivated for its inflorescence, more precisely for its pre-floral organ: the famous white head. Some varieties have coloured heads, orange for the 'Cheddar' variety, green for 'Vitaverde', or purple in 'Graffiti', which can add color to your appetizers and gratins. The large family of cabbages also includes: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage (with smooth leaves), Milan cabbage (with puckered leaves), kale, kohlrabi, and Chinese cabbage. You have plenty of choices for your vegetable garden.
Cauliflower is one of the most consumed cabbages, as it lends itself to numerous culinary preparations. It can be eaten raw, dipped in a yogurt sauce or in a salad dressed with a good vinaigrette, or cooked, steamed or boiled and then prepared in a gratin with béchamel sauce.
Harvest: between June and October. Cut the cauliflower at ground level when the head is firm. Remember to fold the leaves from the inside over the head when it is well formed to keep it white until harvest.
Storage: Consume your cauliflower quickly after harvest. It can only be stored for a few days in the refrigerator. To store it for longer, blanch it for 3 minutes in salted boiling water and then freeze it.
Harvest
Plant habit
Foliage
Cauliflower is a vegetable that thrives in soil enriched with well-decomposed compost. Apply it ideally in the previous autumn. Use about 3/4kg per m2 and incorporate it by digging to a depth of 5cm.
Freedom cauliflower plugs can be planted between April and August for a harvest from June to October.
Upon receiving the plug plants, start by transplanting them into buckets filled with potting soil to allow them to grow a bit. Place them in a warm and bright location. Water regularly.
Once your plants have reached a sufficient size, you can plant them directly in the vegetable garden. Choose a sunny spot (or partial shade if your summers are very hot). Space the plants 60cm apart in all directions. Soak the plug plant in a bucket of water for a few moments. Then dig a hole, place the plant in it, and cover with fine soil. Water generously.
At the beginning of the growing season, it is recommended to mound soil around the base of your cauliflower plants. This allows for better anchoring in the soil and improved root development. Mulch the soil to reduce the need for watering.
During the growing season, water moderately but regularly.
When the heads are sufficiently formed, cover them with the inner leaves to maintain their whiteness.
Cauliflower, like all cabbage plants, is quite susceptible to diseases such as clubroot and pests (cabbage white butterfly, cabbage fly, flea beetle, gall midge...). It is very important, for this crop, to practice crop rotation.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
