CULTURAL INFO:
Kohlrabi is a little known, yet delightful vegetable with mild flavor and the texture of a juicy, sweet radish. Direct seed as soon as ground can be worked in early spring or late summer. Start transplants 4-6 weeks before planting date. Best quality is for fall harvest. The edible portion of kohlrabi is not the root, but rather the round, swollen stem of the plant. Leaves are also edible. Harvest when stem swells to 3-5” and is easily visible above the soil. Plants will withstand light frost.
