Cool.
I've just ordered some seeds. A purple and a green variety.
Probably my favorite cabbage! Tastes just like the inside of a broccoli stem, just better and sweeter. I still need to get my hands on the purple variety. So crunchy, love it! Thanks Gary!
great information on kohlrabi from planting to eating !!! thanks for sharing !! all the best and happy gardening !!
Good Luck
I love kohlrabi! Next time I grow it I think it would be awesome to shred it & make a wonderful coleslaw! TFS!🌻
I was just wondering about that, thank you 🤓
+JCruz1054 ur very welcome!🌞
Oh good idea.
Grew them for the first time this year. They were very good steamed with butter.
I bet.
Finally this year I've started these from seed, as well as cabbage, califlower and romanesco. It seems neccesary to do this to fully capitalize on time in areas with harsh winters allowing a sprint crop and a fall one. Also it gives you something to plant instead of scattering seeds and watching as they come up in too thin in some areas and totally bare in others. I'm really liking having these crops as well as onions seedlings on hand so that they can be plopped into the garden as opportune space opens up.
Im with you. I like to plop in the transplants as things are finishing. Much more manageable if you ask me.
Thanks for the info Gary. My Dad grew these when I was a kid and I always liked them. It's been years since I've had them but I'm running out today to get some plant to put in the garden!
Great! They are so good.

I am a real fan of this one. I have to try and grow it some time. Thanks for this video!
I love the flavor.
What I do is juice any veggies that are too tough or hard to eat. U have to be careful not to jam your juicer so be sure to add water rich veggies like cucumbers to help feed the tougher veggies through. One can even add water or some of the juice to prevent juicer from clogging. But this is a gr8 way to avoid foodwaste if you don't want to eat the veggies for whatever reason😊
Thats a good idea.
thank you for the 60 sec ade
Tried it for the first time last year, loved it! Did not know about the leaves tho'.
We grow kholrabi. Lovely stuff. Just cut and eat with a little salt and pepper or in a salad. We've never cooked it even once. Just too good to waste. The leaves are tasty too. Good in soups.
I agree.
I enjoy eating kohlrabi fresh like an apple as well :-)
Cheers
I have a horrible time growing broccoli and cauliflower because of aphids. But I can grow cabbage fine. I wonder if this would work. Would Kolrabi keep longer in a root cellar like cabbage does? I hope your finger wasn't cut too badly!!
My finger was fine. Just didnt want blood in the video LOL. Kohrabi probably can sit a while. Nice skin on it.
Gary, is it better to water in the morning or in the evening? Thanks Bill
Early morning is always good as plant dry off.
Its a turnip
Thanks
I heard about kohlrabi a few months ago and really wanted to try it. I'm having a terrible time find it in the local produce section.
Have you tried it in a cold frame at all?
I havent build a formal cold frame. I bet it would do well. I will be growing a fall crop.
can these be planted in containers? raised beds?
Sure.
Hey Gary, Does it have the heat like cabbage hearts? Everything close to the heart of store-bought cabbage, usually has some heat. I've already bought my seeds to grow in my Fall garden and I'm trying to figure it out before dedicating space for it. God bless!
No heat or radish tinge to it. Tastes sweet. A bit like broccoli stalk below the crown.
I actually love broccoli stalk so that's good to know. Thanks and God bless you and yours!
