I have previously (for 10 years ) only grown Spinach in my poly in the

are all looking really healthy. The beans are about a foot high. I was
wondering if anyone had grown cauliflowers in a polytunnel in the winter
and they could share their experience.

I suspect that few have tried to grow caulies under glass or polythene
over winter because of the space they take up, if you have spare space
then give it a try, look for a small variety of winter cauliflower, they
will have to be sown around May, planted into the tunnel end of
June/July so will be taking up space fpr a lot of the time you would
want the room for other crops.
I wouldn't bother
