GERMINATION GUIDE

Use a flat seedling tray and its deep will be 10 centimetres, and fill seedling media within 3/4  of the rim with a sterile potting soil or sieved vermiculite. Fill the tray with diluted fungicide water (2gm in 1-litre water). Make sure you have plenty of holes in it for good water drainage. And  Allow the soil in the flat to absorb the water through the bottom drainage holes until the soil surface becomes moist.

Sow seeds on the soil surface apart 2 in. Press on the seeds lightly with your fingers so they are in full contact with the soil, but don't cover them with soil because they require light to germinate.Cauliflower needs the cool-weather starting seeds indoors 4 weeks before your last frost date.
