Growing cauliflower and broccoli in garden beds is not that easy.
Sometimes these plants do not have time to form before they begin to bloom.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh revealed how to improve the yield of broccoli and cauliflower.
An effective trick
The plant's heads will form well if you use one simple trick.
To do this, you need to break off a couple of branches on the bush, covering the heads with them.
As a result, the plant will be slightly in the shade, but ventilation will not be disrupted.
It should be taken into account that the flowering of these plants is influenced by lighting.
If broccoli or cauliflower receives a lot of light, they may flower early.
Therefore, it is best to plant these crops in the shade or use the trick mentioned above.
Why cabbage heads don't form
There are also several other factors that can affect the yield of these crops.
These plants will not grow well in acidic soil.
If there is a lack of nutrients, it is also unlikely that you will be able to get large heads.
In addition, the heads will not form well in hot weather and lack of moisture.
