Cauliflower

Question

I live in eastern PA. and my cauliflower plants are three weeks in the soil and starting to produce. But the head is starting to brown in a few spots. A friend thought the head might need to be covered to stop sun damage. Is that needed? If so, what should I use, the plant leaves or burlap maybe?

Answer 1

Protect cauliflower from brown spots by tying the leaves of the plant over the head. This will protect it from the sun's rays and keep the cauliflower nice and white.
