How to Grow Cauliflower from Seed to Harvest

[@marley9904]

Hello, hope Bing Bing is doing better. Let's support this lovely couple for Bing Bing, I have two dogs, every time I take them to the Vet for regular blood test, it always cost me at least $500 dollars, imagine all the tests done to Bing Bing. Must be a lot. Not skipping ads to support you folks. Have a blessed day always

[@lesliemorgan8504]

Enjoying your videos, especially the fishing.

[@normalopez2856]

How is Mr. Bing Bing❤️

[@RiceaRoni354]

I love your progression videos. I wish I knew the real time dates so I could judge for my zone. I lived in your area but moved to north tennessee years ago. Blessings to you, Nancy and your precious Bing Bing. Hope he heals perfectly

[@dsr8223]

I was hoping the video would show dates, too, since I live in NE Florida in the same zone I think Hollis and Nancy live in. I retired to FL from the central US and am struggling to learn how to grow successfully here.

[@maltipoosoffgrid6868]

KZbin should give awards to youtubers with excellent content. You would win best instructional videos for gardening hands down. When I want to learn how to grow something, you have the first video I watch. Thank you so much for your videos

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

KZbin could never give us an award as awesome as the one you just gave us❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. Enjoy your garden this fall👍

[@marthareyes4024]

Hollis and Nancy Thank you so much for the video today. It was much needed. I was up for hours and hours in the early morning hours. I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. Keep thinking and worrying about everything happening in the world and whats to come. I trust in the Lord, but I am still human and find myself worrying so much. Especially since my husband walked out on me a few years back. Being alone can be scary in the times we are in ( I do have a late-in-life daughter and we have stuck together) but we have the Lord. Thanks for your peaceful videos.

[@RiceaRoni354]

Blessings and prayers for you and your daughter

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Martha Reyes it would probably be helpful for you to keep your Bible near your bed so you can read it when you wake up and worry. The Word of God is what can bring you hope and peace. Something else that will help a lot is to not watch anything negative, especially the news. The devil is not playing around, his plan for you is to separate you from the Lord by causing fear in your heart and mind and the tv is one of his main tools. We are not ignorant of his devices; he doesn’t come to discourage us, he comes to steal, kill and destroy. If we give him an inch, he will take a mile. The Lord will keep us, but we can do some things to help ourselves as well

[@oliviastar3812]

how's your farming going today? hope well

[@janedavis81]

Today we had some breaded with planko bread crumbs baked in the oven on 450 for 18 minutes. Then tossed in teriyaki sauce. Served as a side dish. So so good. My husband loved them. So did i.

[@suzzettebridges4931]

Your show is a blessing and I love Nancy's cooking and recipes

[@kele1264]

I'm so envious of your cauliflower. I tried to grow one once. It was purple. Before the curd got even got to one-third the goal size, somebody ate it! Somebody could've been the ground hog, the rabbits, the squirrels, the raccoons, or the skunks. My money was on the ground hog or the rabbits. I mean, it was PURPLE! I'll try again one day.

[@cherylstyer5637]

This year I decided to try a garden again. In the past nothing made it. I found your videos and decided to try black know. My garden has really taken off. I am so excited. For the first time ever I have beans, yellow squash broccoli, cucumber, strawberries, melons,and tomatoes. Thank you for all you do.

[@TheMixingBowlHomestead]

Crunchy, tasty and healthy. I can tell you really enjoyed that cauliflower. 👍 I’m starting my seeds tomorrow morning

[@robertbaker231]

[@stanleyschafer4232]

Hello Hollis , Nancy and Bing-Bing. Thank you for all your great gardening tips. I have been gardening for years, and your tips really help me. May the good Lord bless and keep you . Thank you for sharing your videos with us. 🇺🇸

[@annabanana1113]

fermented cauliflower is amazing!!! my favorite ferment

[@sonnyamoran7383]

I'm trying cauliflower this fall. It's up and in the bed. But it really dislikes the daytime heat but loves the cool evenings.

[@dschott1083]

Sweet Hollis, Nancy, and Bing Bing...as always your vids are outstanding...this vids additional importance is so visibly clear how happy you are and I got to see Bing Bing... a glimpse of him..proof of what our Blessed God will do when so many hearts and voices cry out to him for Bing Bing to so quickly recover. I also am glad for your planned updates that will protect that sweet pup while still giving him as much freedom that is safe. Regarding your cauliflower, if Nancy has fav recipes for them would they be in-her recipe vids? ❤️❤️❤️ one for each of you😁

[@belindahopkins7875]

I thank you so very much. I have learned a lot from. Your videos. Still am loving the set up you have. For a person with a bad back this is giving me hope in the future.

[@HarmonyHillHomestead1]

Good morning!! I love yalls content! Praying Bing Bing is recuperating quickly!!

[@leonormarrero162]

Thank you for all you shown us!!!

[@normalopez2856]

I am going to try to grow cauliflower!

[@Liwayputi]

I’ve never tried growing cauliflower yet. I love to eat it too! Yum!

[@AmandaRedmond919]

I always thumbs up your videos before I watch because I know I’ll like your videos. But…”YUM, YUM” made me try to hit the like button again. Good video. Nancy, show us a cooking video. 👩‍🍳

[@dkish481]

Thank you for sharing another great video about growing a vegetable I love. God bless you and Nancy.

[@kwimoon5981]

You guys doing great job with show. Keep up the amazing work ❤

[@terryt.1643]

I figure it’s almost time to plant cauliflower here soon, I am thinking it will be in my Zone 9 winter garden so I can harvest the leaves and then the fruit. I love to eat the heads raw, stir fried, and roasted, too. Last year I grew graffiti in my raised beds, this year I’m trying 5 gallon pots because they took up too much space otherwise. Love your videos, hope you all are doing well after Ian and your garden is thriving. 🙏🕯🥰💕🌱❤️

[@notthereyethomestead8413]

The leaves are awesome stir fried!! Thank you for those tips!! Blessings!!!

[@joanpainter9388]

A friend just gave me her cauliflower soup recipe. Can't wait for harvest..thx

[@lisasuewarren6204]

You guys have given me the courage to try growing cauliflower again this coming spring and I think i can do it this time. Thanks for this great video

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You can do it!

[@debpearce3786]

Thanks for the break! God bless you.

[@sofiamiliaressis5403]

Do your cauliflower ever get cabbage moth/caterpillars gnawing on both leaves and cabbage? If so, how do you tackle it?

[@chrisgalvin6703]

I just read your report on the progress of Bing Bing. The power of the prayer is amazing. have a blessed day.🙏

[@rodnawilliams9398]

Oh yesssss .. fresh from the garden .. love my veggies that way

[@markbrooks5278]

Oh man !! Nice!! Hey i noticed a purpleish pink tint to it, very interesting!!thankyou for all the videos! You and Nancy are wonderful people, never get tired of watching you!!

[@countryroads190]

I am so enjoying these progression videos. I also appreciate your ideas for how to use cauliflower!

I have seen where they put a rubber band on the leaves to guard the head. Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸

[@stephenbowker824]

Hi from Anglesey North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Uk. Thanks for the video my sister gave me some cauliflower plants and they’ve struggled. Today is 4th August so I’m out for seeds today. Thanks for the help.

[@21McLain21]

Super new to the gardening scene, that was super helpful to actually see the different stages of growth. Being super new I was trying to be proactive on weeding and I'm pretty sure I picked a few seedlings. Looking forward to future knowledge.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Glad it was helpful!

[@yesyoga]

I’m inspired! Thank you Hollis. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️‍🔥💙💛✅

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@lynndiehl8126]

I just got my 1st cauliflower plant today. Growing it in a 5 gallon bucket. Also starting radish in a bucket. And some tomatoes and carrots in a tub. You've inspired me and really helped me so much. Thanks. Hopefully, I can make them grow here in Jacksonville.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

That is awesome!

[@robertblanton527]

Great job

[@jeffphillips9251]

I love your video and watcg them all, Im from Mandurah in WA, near Perth, god bless you both, thank you so much.❤️

[@terifrank7393]

Fun video and love calli too! Plz tell us you Nancy Bing Bing and the girls will be safe if Ian shows up!! Not sure where you are in FL so plz be safe! God bless!

[@jcastro905]

Once again, great video. Thank you and kept it up

[@savedbygrace5152]

Pray you guys will be safe with hurricane Ian! May God protect everyone there in Florida. May your garden not sustain damage and may the chickens be safe too. God bless you!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you Christine. Our little homestead is directly in the path of the eye according to the latest projection🙏

[@savedbygrace5152]

Ok,thank you for letting me know. I know your mother in law is also there somewhere. I will be praying for all of you and Bing Bing too. This is not your first hurricane, but I always pray for you guys too. Big hugs from Payson AZ

[@leighannf.4730]

I'm so impressed that some Black Kow compost added to such sandy soil gives you great results!

[@rodnawilliams9398]

I loved that hibiscus flower .. we have been trying to get them to grow here in our 7b/8a zone but the heat this year really stunted their progress .. also having trouble getting our brassicas to grow . Some have sprouted some not yet .. still getting over 95°F here .. don't if we'll have time since our first frost is suppose to be Nov 15th .. hoping they will survive the first few frosts

[@AmandaRedmond919]

Yes! That was a beautiful hibiscus.

[@rosalindhb]

Hope Mr. Bing Bing is doing better and milking all the attention from you and Nancy. Thank you for the video. I'm going to try these and broccoli.

[@gardengirl7446]

AWESOME video! ❤

Really beautiful. I love it raw too.

They looks so nice

[@rresneder5083]

Prayers for you all and everyone in danger during storm. Be Safe 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️✝️

[@jchurch556]

Hello friend looks like your doing better than me. Seems like I can only grow the plants that never actually make a head. I watched your garlic video the other day and would like to help. My family and I have been growing a few Turban varieties and a few Creoles. The Turbans harvest early and the Creoles don't mind the heat. If your interested in trying these I'll hook you up.

[@caracampbell4442]

I am really enjoying your videos, and have been looking specifically at the ones that have what I plan on growing this year. I see that the starter cells you use seem to be about 1.5in X 1.5in each, and am a little worried because the seed starter cells I could find are only about the size of a quarter across the top. Will this be a problem for the larger seedlings like cauliflower and cabbage? I planned on getting some seeds started this weekend but I'm concerned I need bigger trays.

[@michelledavis1459]

Love your videos and tutorials on gardening. I got started gardening over the pandemic by watching your videos. Now that you've moved to Florida the weather that you encounter is very close to what I encountered here in the Bahamas. I would like to know if when you do your videos can you put the date on them so I can have a better idea on what to plan at what time of the year. May God continue to bless you and your family as you continue to bless us.

[@PapasHobbyGarage]

Here in sw va we are still hitting 80s dont think we are gonna have a fall this year

[@boonmsgt]

Hollis, I had the same thing happen with IAN this year. So I'm actually excited as I'm new to gardening and didn't know what I did wrong. I think I'm further south than you so I'm going to restart my cauliflower since I have seeds left and try again

[@LaRa-youknowit]

Question, do you spray for pests? Are you farming organic? I’m Florida too, what zone are you in? Love your channel

[@TheHornMedic]

Thanks again for another great video. You guys are the best. In pots are they grown like your cabbage and broccoli. Be Well

[@justinhunter3330]

I wish you would build a plexiglass raised bed so I could watch the growth of a plant with the fish fertilizer and see how it works

[@shaiy777jjckpw8]

Glad to find your videos. Now I have to find a man to work my garden 🪴!!!

[@TheMixingBowlHomestead]

😂😂😂😂 yum yum. I can see you really enjoyed that cauliflower Mr. Hollis. Mrs. Nancy, did he leave any for you or mom? 😂😂

[@pikakerose]

love your videos

[@jimroe9460]

Great job

[@pemamedina]

Thank you

[@reginahudock7444]

Do you do anything for weed control

[@DoubleKHomestead2024]

I love all of your video. When you start your seeds outside I guess it’s warm enough to germinate. What do you do when starting for spring garden. Do you start them indoors?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

It’s warm enough in the spring as well. Since moving to Florida I start all my seeds outdoors I’m my seed starting racks with no problem. The Florida heat pays off on seed germination rates. 👍

[@brandonallen9853]

My favorite way to eat cauliflower is by steaming it with melted Velveeta cheese all over it. Yum! Yum!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Sounds great!

[@isobel8788]

Another Fantastic video 👏thank u . Mine r only size of an egg at mo but they look like they r opening & separating already??Don’t no What have I done 🙈🙈any advise pls??🙏thank you

[@jmjdickey]

I would also like to know how long it took for the different stages from seed to harvest. I am in Arizona and mine have started out really but they are slow growing so I wonder if they will survive the summer. I have them in raised beds and have a 40% shade cloth on them so fingers crossed. Yours look amazing!

[@TheJazzyuknow]

love love your content. i have a questions should i keep my bamboo sticks to hold up my califlower, im in mississippi and i have some bad weather coming through? or do they need to expand but its leaning and im growing them in buckets.. Once again thank you for your content love it...

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I always leave mine in. The heads will push them out of the way as they expand

[@Gardeningchristine]

I’m very curious what y’all do for pest control. My brassicas get eaten up every year.

[@lilandry2396]

Mine get eaten up too. Hollis, what do you do for pests? You never mention that.

[@Gardeningchristine]

@@lilandry2396 this year I did have more luck with covering mine. I used a mosquito net on two of my raised beds. Of course both got small holes, so some harlequin bugs got in, but it kept the cabbage moths off until I took one off. That bed got eaten up about a week after that. I did catch it and squished most of the little buggers. I started a new fall bed of kale, pock choy, and mustards, and have it covered now with a very sheer curtain. I haven’t had any trouble after covering it so I’ve bought more to cover next year’s crop.

[@ann-mariegrey9775]

I am trying purple cauliflower this year

[@donnagilbertson7769]

When in Newport did you plant califlower? I'm 7A and want calflower this year.

[@virginiamccann3890]

ey, Good morning Hollis and Nancy, How is Bing Bing doing? I read where you were on your way to the vet a possible snake bite . I pray Bing Bing is OK I'm Ginny in Jacksonville Florida. I I've been following you when you lived in the city and just love Bing Bing he's so cute Please let me know how he's doing . Thank you God Bless you both Ginny

[@emilybh6255]

When did you plant your seeds and then when was it that you put them in the ground?

[@michellebatista9702]

Love your videos. Could you add dates so we have idea of time between each section. Thanks

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Will do!

[@makeupgirl8886]

How is Bing Bing doing?

[@Jedidragoon]

You can make cauliflower rice but running cauliflower through a food processor great rice substitute

[@lyndagaylebanner6462]

Also, will cauliflower freeze?

[@olhademidova3192]

Спасибо очень хорошее видео. Хотелось бы узнать в каком месяце семена садить.

[@lyndagaylebanner6462]

Hi Mr Hollis. I want to ask you if you worry about mercury levels in the fish parts?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

No ma’am. All our fish come from spring fed freshwater lakes.

[@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674]

Know u busy...just asking if u got Deer in them trees behind your garden...I'm growing some this year.ty...from Downunder 😊🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@lennietatro1604]

We do not have access to fish for fertilizer so can we use blood meal or bone meal instead?

No cabbage root fly protection collars?

[@sophiesoulsister2222]

Silly me I didn't know about blanching the cauliflower plants. The cauliflower heads are green and about 4", is it too late blanch??? Thank u!

[@magoolew5131]

I live in Pa., how do you think they would make out up here? I've grown cabbage here, but the deer ended up in eating some of each of them. That's just something I have to deal with here.

[@joshuakendra7468]

I like mine in vinegar with salt and pepper

[@brandonallen9853]

I know what you mean by hot temperatures. I'm in Texas. It gets old don't it! It gets a lot of my plants too.

[@thewoolista8691]

I missed where the fish come from -- where can I get frozen fish like this? -- I'm a very new gardener

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

😋😋😋😋Yum!

[@jeaninebunt9739]

Pressure cooking and slow cooker are two other ways to make food taste great.

[@donscott6431]

Cut the stem off and slice into 1/2 inch “steaks”. Preheat a cast iron skillet to medium-medium high heat. Use a little, neutral flavored oil with a higher smoke-point OR clarified butter. Season with salt, pepper and thyme and fry. Really good

[@williamallison1029]

Enjoyed the video BA94Antrim n Ireland

[@rewire1]

Sorry to hear that Bing Bing tangled with a rattler. You live deeply in a large forest area that contains every wildlife species known to Florida. Any number of them could be a threat so keeping him out of the woods is a really good idea. Also you will be feeling the effect of Hurricane Ian in a few days and it could be stronger than last year's hurricanes. Prepare now as best you can. As a backyard container and hydroponic gardener I've enjoyed your channel for some time now. It must be nice to have all that space to work with. Keep up the good work.

[@justinhunter3330]

Also how is bing bing .
