Pull the leaves up around the head and tie them together, or clip them with binder clips or clothespins. You could cover it with a cloth, but then your plant would suffer from lack of sun. <br><br>The reason for doing this is to keep your cauliflower head nice and white. Exposure to the sun will cause it to become coarse and yellow, and it can get to where it looks like rice. Very unappealing. Quickly now. blanch that cauliflower!

Not sure if I'd grow them in a container again. Can easily use it for something more productive. It seems like they are a stubborn plant. Not sure if I'd grow them in a container again.

My neighbor has and she has always had some trouble with them. I think for the most part her trouble comes from it being to hot and humid here to grow them properly during the time of year that she tries to grow them. I know that they always take a LONG TIME to head! Glad to see that yours are finally starting to get their act together. I have never tried to grow cauliflower.
