Growing cauliflowers and they keep dying before they get big?

Question

5 plants have died of, they start of fine a white cauliflower appears but then goes yellow and dies off.

Answer 1

What's happening is that the cauliflower is getting burned. They are quite sensitive.

When starting out, as the outer leaves get big enough tie or attach them together, kind of forming a "tent" to cover up the actual cauliflower. This prevents and protects them from getting burned.

Answer 2

they come frozen and fresh in the store buy them

Answer 3

As soon as the cauliflower appears, take the outer leaves to the top of the cauliflower and hold together with an elastic band.

Answer 4

miracle grow feed will sort out this problem,once  the florets appear cover them with a large leaf so they stay white

Answer 5

They need to be fed continuously which makes them expensive to grow. We have the same problem.

Answer 6

Lots of liquid feed should solve your problem

Answer 7

They produce better in cooler weather.  Any heat and they "bolt", meaning: they send up yellow flowers.  You can cut those flowering steams off, they don't taste good, but the side shoots will still give you some small cauliflowers.
