Not one produced a head out of 24. The plants are robust, but the heads are dark and scraggly (no other word fits). Then they bolt. If any year were perfect for cauliflower this would be it. I suspect something wrong with the seed or it's simply not fit for this latitude as a spring crop (day-length problems).
