Best way is to start planting indoors first and later go outdoors. Once you start growing cauliflower indoors, keep them there until they reach a height of 6 inches and do not transplant them if there are chances of frost. The soil and air temperature should hover around 50 F or so. Start digging holes and plant them. Cover them ill the lower leaves. Put some soil around the plant to keep the moisture in. If you plan for a fall harvest, sow the seeds straight in the ground. Planting them in clusters is a nice idea. Space the clusters couple of feet away. When the leaves come up, you can start removing all but the strongest seedling in each cluster. This is an essential part of growing cauliflower.
Instead of picking the cauliflower allow it to bolt (send up a flower). You will then be able to gather seeds. The seeds of Cauliflower will not continue to ripen after they are harvested, so they should be left on the plant until they are fully mature and dried. If they are left on the plant too long, however, the seed pods may shatter and release the seeds, especially in hot dry weather.
Yes, they are normally started indoors though. You can plant them directly into your garden, just make sure that your soil temperature is between 75 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. If you start the seeds indoors you should do so 6 weeks before your transplant date.

What did Salvador Dali fill with cauliflower?
In December 1955, Dali gave a lecture at the Sorbonne in Paris. The lecture was titled 'Phenomenological Aspects of the Paranoiac Critical Method', and was about the morphological connections he had identified amongst cauliflowers, sunflowers, rhinoceros horns and Jan Vermeer's painting, The Lacemaker. Dali arrived at the Sorbonne in a white Rolls Royce Phantom II that belonged to his friend, the French painter Georges Mathieu. Prior to the event, Mathieu had procured 500 kg of cauliflowers from Les Halles and filled the Royce Royce with the cauliflowers to make Dali's arrival a real spectacle! After the lecture, the cauliflowers were donated to a Catholic sisterhood.
