Cauliflower is a member of the cabbage family or colecrops. All members of the family prefer cool weather and cauliflower is no exception. The plants will not head properly in hot weather. Thus, it should be grown as a spring or fall crop with the best quality production occurring in the fall.
Cut the cauliflower into smaller "heads" and cook until tender in boiling water. Drain water from pan and add a couple of big squirts of ketchup. Add about a teaspoon or more of hot sauce. Stir cauliflower gently so you don't make a mush. Serve warm.

Buttoning can occur in young plants beyond the juvenile stage if they are exposed to several days of cold temperatures. Buttoning can also be caused by insufficient water, a shortage of nitrogen, excessive salt, or weed competition.
