what to do with plant after harvesting cauliflower

Question

This is the first time I have grown cauliflower. I am about to harvest my first head. What is done with the remainder of the plant once that head is harvested? Is it like broccoli or will it be done once harvested for the first time and the remainder of the plant removed?

Thanks,
Brian

Answer 1

Cauliflower does not generally develop any side shoots, so therefore can be pulled up after harvest.
It can be put in the compost.
Here is a link with harvest information.
