That wrapper leaf coverage plays a real practical role too, shading the developing curd and helping it stay that brilliant white colour rather than yellowing in the sun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor organic gardeners who want a cauliflower they can rely on, rather than one that needs constant attention to disease or produces uneven results, Belot F1 offers genuine peace of mind alongside a good-sized, high-quality curd.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSowing and Growing Organic Cauliflower Belot F1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSow from December to March, raising seedlings for transplanting once they are well established. Maintain a temperature of 15-25°C for germination, which typically takes 5-10 days. Transplant into fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position, spacing plants 50cm apart within the row and 50cm between rows to allow the wrapper leaves room to develop fully.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvesting Organic Cauliflower Belot F1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurds are ready 75-85 days from transplanting. Harvest once curds are large, firm and tightly formed, cutting the head with a few wrapper leaves left attached for protection. Check plants regularly as curds approach maturity, since quality can decline quickly if left too long in the garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kings Seeds NZ","offers":[{"title":"15 seeds","offer_id":49212407513396,"sku":"O6130.pkt","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/0555\/6276\/files\/O6130-W.png?v=1784973074","url":"https:\/\/www.kingsseeds.co.nz\/products\/organic-cauliflower-belot-f1","provider":"Kings Seeds NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
