Should I give up on the cauliflower plants?
I planted cauliflower in March. I got a row of big leafy plants, still growing, but only one actually had a head of cauliflower on it. I've cooked the head and leaves and they tasted good, but I'm still hoping heads will form on the remaining plants as it gets cooler. Has that ship sailed? Should I just pull them up and plant carrots? I am near Denver, Colorado, USA (zone 5-ish). I want to plant something in a cold frame I can eat this winter but I won't bother with more cauliflower if it takes up space and doesn't produce.

Cauliflower is a really tough plant to grow. Sometimes you get monstrous heads surrounded by lush vegetation, and other times the stupid thing just won't go to flower. I suggest that you pull them up and plant a good root crop of radishes and carrots. The reason is is that when a vegetable goes through cool weather to warm and hot and then back to cold, they become dormant. So don't bother with them, you could have great carrots and radishes and maybe even a better cauliflower crop next year. I hope this helped!
