I have some cauliflowers, some of which I got as seedlings from a neighbour, and others I grew myself from seed. They're good and leafy, but don't seem to be developing the cauliflower head. When should this happen and is there anything I need to do?

Give them a while yet. I find cauli's put on good leaf growth and look like no head is forming and then all of a sudden whoosh, head formed and you are needing the good leaf growth to wrap the head in

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

Evening Alysonh56, if they are Spring planted ones, i totally agree with Pa Snip.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
