Cauliflower

Cauliflower grows best in a sunny location with light, loamy soils rich in nutrients and moisture. It's important to water at least once every two weeks, ideally with rainwater or settled water. Cauliflower doesn't tolerate drought or waterlogging – maintain balance.

Cauliflower belongs to the Brassicaceae family and was cultivated by the ancient Greeks and Romans. However, it didn't reach our regions until the 18th century. Today, it's a popular part of gardens and healthy diets.
