Vegetable
All Year Round
B tier
All Year Round is a traditional British garden cauliflower name promising flexible sowing for heads across more of the cool season than single-slot types—not literal tropical production. Curds are white, medium, and mild when grown in proper cool weather; the variety’s virtue is scheduling forgiveness for amateur beds. Summer heat still ruins curds regardless of the optimistic name. Use for ordinary steam, cheese sauce, and pickles. Expect garden variability more than hybrid supermarket uniformity. Protect developing curds with leaves if sun threatens yellowing.
