Growing Cauliflower

Hi, this was my first attempt at growing broccoli & cauliflower from seedlings. Pretty sure I planted them mid winter. While they look as though they are flourishing, with lots of healthy big leaves - still none have produced heads! They were planted in the same garden bed as I had previously grown tomatoes, with plenty of compost & regular fertiliser added. Any idea's why? Is it possible they still might produce, this far into spring?? Thanks

Hello there, I live in Victoria in a temperate area, but have had a bit of experience growing broccoli especially and some cauliflower. Be careful which seedlings you buy, because if you buy 'green sprouting broccoli' it doesn't have a very big head, or floret. I use a Green Emperor Variety which has a much bigger head. I bought some seeds from bunnings and I think there was sixty seeds in the pack. Hope that helps a bit with your question. Thanks David
