Hi Kate,
Cauliflower is quite difficult to grow as it requires a consistent, cool temperature of around 60 degree F. If it get too hot it can prematurely “button”, forming, button-size heads—rather than forming a single, large head. This seems to be what has happened to your plants.
Your cauliflower should, however, still taste OK and is quite safe to eat.
