Purple cauliflower isnโt just a feast for the eyesโitโs a nutritional powerhouse thatโs surprisingly easy to grow in your backyard garden! ๐ฅฆ In this short video, weโll walk you through the steps for planting, growing, and harvesting beautiful purple cauliflower from seed to plate.
โ Planting: Start seeds indoors 6โ8 weeks before your last frost, or sow directly in rich, well-draining soil. Choose a sunny spot and space plants 18โ24 inches apart.
โ Growing & Care: Keep the soil consistently moist and fertilize with compost or organic fertilizer. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Monitor for pests like cabbage loopers and aphidsโuse neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
โ Harvesting: When the heads are firm and vibrant purpleโtypically 70โ90 days after transplantingโitโs time to harvest. Cut at the base of the head with a clean knife.
โ Health Benefits: Purple cauliflower contains anthocyanins (like in blueberries!), antioxidants that support heart and brain health. It’s also high in vitamin C, fiber, and folate.
Bring color and nutrition to your garden and table with this stunning veggie!
