This year I grew veg for the first time. On the whole it's been very
successful, but I'm puzzled by my cauliflower and my broccoli.

To be honest, I can't recall when I planted them, but they were grown
from
healthy seedlings purchased from the local garden centre. Must have been
6
months ago.

I doubt you will see anything much from the cauliflower but the broccoli
might sprout in spring, buying seedlings is not the best way to
grow either as for one thing they are stressed by being transplanted but
also because of the possibility of importing clubroot. Much better to grow
from seed.

I grow all our brassicas from seed but all in rootrainers for transplanting
as if I planted in situ or seed bed we wouldn't get anything after the Flea
Beetle had done it's worst.
Can't imagine you are likely to import clubroot from nursery grown brassicas
as it's soil born and they normally use clean compost, more likely to get it
from a friend giving you some plants from a seed bed.
