Cauliflowers in pots ?

I have many small cauliflower plants   I have used all my space in polytunnel.   Can I grow them in pots in heated greenhouse over winter ?

    The short answer is that anything can be grown in a pot as long as the size is big enough to accommodate the roots and there is adequate food and water available in the compost.   Caulis need rich soil full of nutrients with some added lime to counteract club root and plenty of water but not wet.   It may be asier, if you can, to plant them outside but give them some protection such as a cloche tunnel - perforated polythene sheet over hoops sort of thing.
