Kohlrabi is a hardy biennial grown as an annual. Kohlrabi has a swollen globe-shaped stem that makes it look like a turnip growing on a cabbage root. Stems can be white, purple, or green and is topped with a rosette of long-stemmed blue-green leaves. Kohlrabi is milder and sweeter than either cabbage or turnip.
Instruction how to grow Kohlrabi:
Sow kohlrabi seed in the garden 3 to 4 weeks before the last average frost date in spring. Kohlrabi grows best in cool temperatures between 40F and 75F. Kohlrabi requires 45 to 60 days to reach maturity. In warm winter regions, sow kohlrabi in late summer for winter harvest. Kohlrabi can withstand an early autumn frost.
Plant 4 to 5 kohlrabi per household member.
Plant kohlrabi in full sun. Grow kohlrabi well-worked, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Work aged compost into planting beds before sowing. Side dress kohlrabi with aged compost at midseason.
Kohlrabi is a cool-weather crop. Sow kohlrabi seed in the garden 3 to 4 weeks before the last average frost date in spring.
Sow kohlrabi seed inch deep and 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart; thin successful seedlings from 5 to 8 inches apart. Space rows 18 to 24 inches (45-60 cm) apart. Thinned seedlings can be transplanted to another part of the garden.
Keep soil evenly moist for quick growth.
Cultivate carefully to avoid harming the shallow roots. Mulch kohlrabi with aged compost when plants are 4 to 5 inches tall.
Kohlrabi is ready for harvest when stems reach 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
Kohlrabi will store well in the refrigerator for 1 week or for one to two months in a cold, moist place. Kohlrabi can be frozen.
