Check fields every 2-3 days. Cover developing heads or tie leaves together to protect heads from sunlight for blanched effect. Self-blanching varieties have tight leaf curl around heads so minimize need to cover. Harvest heads promptly when they are full size but still compact, white and smooth. Delaying harvest results in curds turning loose and ricey. Cool cauliflower immediately after harvest to retain quality.\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStore at 32°F for 1-2 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bloomery LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40501386903575,"sku":null,"price":1.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9338\/6263\/products\/AdonaF1Cauliflower.png?v=1676399538","url":"https:\/\/www.thebloomeryky.org\/products\/adona-f1-cauliflower-3-plant-pack","provider":"The Bloomery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
