Pests & Diseases
Not very many pests affect cauliflower as long as you practice crop rotation, allowing at least 3 years before you replant cauliflower in the same location.
Seed Saving
Cauliflower needs overwintering in order to produce seeds. However, because cauliflower does not store well in root cellars, you can plant it in greenhouses in cooler climates.
