I know it’s been a while, but hey, It’s June in the Rockies and it’s beautiful outside! I am too busy gardening outdoors, like all of the “normal” gardeners who garden outside, to be bothered much with my indoor garden! And heck, I’ve been letting it go on auto-pilot for almost 6 months, so why stop now?
But here’s an update anyway, to keep you following along. Currently in our little indoor, bathroom-garden we are growing…
After months and months of waiting, 115 days to be exact, my cauliflower heads were ready. At long last.
I had planted these seeds in early May. They grew slowly for about 4 months. Beets, radishes and several crops of lettuce went in and out next to them. They just grew steadily, their heads looking small and loose for the longest time…
Can I grow cauliflower indoors, from seed to harvest? Yes, you absolutely can. It may not grow quite as large as you might get outdoors, but it will still be decent size, and worth it!
Admittedly, these are not the largest cauliflower in the world but they were delicious!! We will keep trying new varieties and see if we can get some larger heads out of our indoor garden cauliflower crop!
Cauliflower scored a “B-“ on our “indoor-garden feasibility” scale, just like it’s cousin, broccoli. Cauliflower was actually fairly easy to grow in the indoor garden, despite warnings that it wouldn’t form heads at the warmer temperatures in my garden. However, like broccoli, it did take up a lot of space relative to the amount of food you get from one cauliflower plant. Plus, like broccoli, in an indoor environment, cauliflower took a long time from seed to harvest. Hence, the rather low score. Here is the Tub to Table guide to growing Cauliflower, from seed to harvest, indoors.
