Growing Cauliflower

Kathryn...i had the same problem, so after looking on the net i found this, would certainly explain my case, days of high 30's then low 20's even down to 15 or so...It can be due to poor leaf growth and the exposed head can discolor. It can also happen due to weather fluctuations. Cauliflower is sensitive to variations in heat and cold, so it begs the question, how has your weather been? As to whether you want to eat the pink part or not, It would be like eating the sunscalded portion of a tomato. It's not going to kill you, but you're eating dead tissue, so just cut it off and eat the rest.
