Growing Cauliflower

Cauliflower has been growing for about 60 days, lots of large leaves and getting tall. Will the heads form on a plant that is 10cm tall from base and has leaves branching out from the top of that 10cm point to make it around 25-30cm tall? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cut some of the leaves off the stem , leave 4-6 leaves for cover

Don't despair. Our plants looked like that for ages. We were about to give up when we noticed fruit forming. Now we have about nine fruit, each up to ten cm in size. It may have been the dose of fertiliser about four weeks ago that did it.
