At 42 days to harvest, Song Tjs-65 delivers one of the fastest turnarounds in the cauliflower world. The compact growth habit means it fits easily into smaller garden spaces and containers, while its early, sweet character appeals to gardeners tired of bland, late-season varieties. Bred as an F1 hybrid, it combines the vigor of hybrid genetics with the reliability that commercial growers demand.
Song Tjs-65 is grown primarily as a fresh market vegetable. Its early maturity and sweet flavor make it well-suited for home cooking, steaming, roasting, or raw preparation in salads. The compact head size is convenient for smaller households or those looking to harvest and eat quickly rather than preserve large quantities.

Sow Song Tjs-65 in 72-cell plug flats, maintaining soil temperature at least 70°F (21°C) until germination, then 60°F (16°C) thereafter. Seedlings will be ready to transplant in 4 to 6 weeks. Start early spring crops 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost, and fall crops 12 to 14 weeks before your first fall frost.
Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are no more than 4 to 5 weeks old; older plants tend to be stressed and underperform. Harden off plants by gradually increasing cold exposure before transplanting. Space plants 18 inches apart, with 24 to 36 inches between rows. Transplant when soil has warmed to at least 60°F.
Song Tjs-65 is ready to harvest approximately 42 days after transplanting. Cut the head at the base when it reaches full size but while the curds remain tightly packed and before any yellowing occurs. Check plants regularly, as small, compact varieties like this can mature quickly.
