What would be the ideal pot size for a Cauliflower?
I've never grown them before! The brocolli are in a raised garden bed
and are getting pretty big, but the Cauliflower are still babies.

Do they get as big as brocolli???


I have serious space shortage, so I tend to compromise
and crowd a bit.

With 10-litre (2.5 gal) buckets, I put two cauliflower
or broccoli in each. I tried three to a bucket last
season, but that very crowded and seemed to stunt their
growth. With more space, I would be inclined to just
put one plant per bucket.

Last season's cauliflower didn't get as big as some of
the broccoli, but with good spacing, the cauliflower
heads can spread out a lot horizontally, compared to
the broccoli plants going mostly upward.

So I have a ton of 1 gallon buckets, and the space to put them in.
D'you think that, if the soil level is high enough, a 1 gallon would
work???
