I grow cauliflower from plants & they take forever to form a head. The outside leaves are big green & healthy.Does it help if i tie the leaves together before a head forms?
It might be a sign of high nitrogen content in your garden bed. That would explain large leaves and little main head growth. I had the same issue and started feeding with compost tea using a sprayer , had very good results after the change.
