    If they were in containers my first guess would be lack of water/nutrients at some stage in their growth, looks like they are going over.

          Looks like it's gone over to me too. Was it firmly rooted?

          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

              It's just another way of saying "gone past it's best"

                  Personally I would eat it. In a stir fry maybe.

                      You should be able to get something off it too but get it picked quickly and then it'll be fine stir fried or similar.

                        Most of mine did this too - I only got one good cauliflower this year! I think it's down to the nice weather we've been having. Brilliant for us but not so much for the poor cauli's! And I'll be the first to admit that I don't always water my plants religiously. You can still eat them though, they still make for a fair cauliflower cheese, or put them in stir fries as other people have said.

                            I must be the odd one out as this is the first year we've had a decent crop of cauliflowers! Unfortunately had to pick them all in one go as off on hols - so kept the neighbours happy by handing them out! I blitzed a couple and stuck in the freezer for "cauliflower rice" - that'#s an option for the "slightly over" ones.
