My first time trying to grow cauliflower this year.
I seem to have failed miserably.
The head of the plants are very small and the
white heads go a nasty brown colour.
I am obviously doing something wrong but can't
think what.
Any help or suggestions please ??

I suggest that you, prior to growing any vegetables, go to
www.google.com and search using appropriate search critera. In this
case it would be: growing cauliflowers and you would then would get
this http://tinyurl.com/24tmcs and other appropriate sites.

This site tells you, in simple terms, how to grow your cauliflowers. It
even mentions and shows a photo of the Armado variety mentioned by Bob
Hobson and it also explains about discolouration and protecting the
cauliflower head with its leaves - also mentioned by Bob.
