  Cauliflowers hate temperature fluctuation while they’re growing ... so the erratic weather this spring may have something to do with it.  

  
  

  They also need a lot of space ... I like to plant them at least 2ft apart, preferably more. This encourages them to form a firm curd, although I don’t know why 🤷‍♀️
  

  
  

  I would cut those sprigs ASAP and eat them as I would white sprouting broccoli ... they’ll be fine to eat ... they’ll just look a bit different. 😉

  Mine have been the spawn of sprouting broccoli this season too.
