Description
This is a superb, high quality cauliflower which is totally winter hardy. The deep creamy white curds of Cauliflower Walcheren Winter Pilgrim are compact and freely produced, giving you an outstanding variety which is the result of intense modern breeding.
Sow seeds from May to June. Germinate at 15-20C in trays on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a layer of vermiculite, 1.5mm deep. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 4-10 days. Transplant seedlings, when large enough to handle into individual cells or in trays, space by 5cm. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out from July to August. Plant 7x7cm apart. To avoid clubroot, grow Brassicas on a different site each year.
