Episode 39 — Cauliflower — Creamy, Crinkly and Clever

from The Beanstalk : A Podcast for Gardeners · host John

Episode 39 — Cauliflower — Creamy, Crinkly and Clever Today on The Beanstalk we’re talking cauliflower — the creamy, fractal, surprisingly finicky brassica that rewards good timing and consistent care. We’ll cover how to grow it, why it’s worth the effort, how to avoid common cauliflower heartbreaks like buttoning, and why Romanesco looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie. We’ll roast up some cauliflower steaks in the recipe section and geek out about plant evolution in the Garden Nerd Corner. If you’ve ever been curious about how this veggie works, or just want to get better at growing it, this episode is for you. 🌱
