Thanks! I don't leave cauliflower out in serious frosts because it seems much more sensitive to damage from freezing than broccoli, cabbage and brussel sprouts. Honestly, I haven't noticed a difference in the taste of any of them after frost. I grew brussel sprouts in the spring for the first time this year as an experiment because I knew they wouldn't be able to be "sweetened by frost" so I was just hoping they'd be edible. To my surprise, the plant I set out in early April is still producing and the sprouts tasted just as good all year as they do now!
