The Royal Horticultural Society issues guidance that home gardeners should stop growing cauliflower and other brassicas, citing inability to thrive in high temperatures and drought conditions. The charity recommends alternatives including kale, purple sprouting broccoli, okra, and Asian loofah.
“Cauliflowers and their brassica cousins have been the hardest hit of those commonly found in domestic veg patches, and with summers likely to follow recent patterns, swapping them out for an equally as flavourful and nutritious alternative will save on all-important watering.”
