Growing kohlrabi

  • Kohlrabi needs full sun and a cool soil temperature of 55 to 75 deg. F. to grow well. They are not summer plants.

  • Space kohlrabi 3 to 8 inches apart.

  • Before planting, add some general purpose fertilizer and compost to the soil.

  • Keep the soil evenly moist. Kohlrabi benefits from consistent and even watering.

  • Mature kohlrabi plants are tolerant of frost.

    PLEASE NOTE: The plants on my farm table have NOT been hardened off. They are straight from the greenhouse.
    You can do one of the following:
    1. Expose them gradually to outdoor conditions over a week
    -OR (as I do)-
    2. Plant them immediately and give them protection from excess sun, wind, and rain for a week or two.

Konstance

Konstance

42 days. This AAS winner features improved, smoother skin and a beautiful, vibrant purple color that continues through the leaf margins. A fantastic choice for both spring and fall growing, Konstance is long lasting and resists cracking. The bulbs are sweet and crisp with peppery undertones, while the leaves are also delicious when roasted, sautéed, or eaten raw when young and tender. Plants hold well in the garden, providing a longer harvest window. F1 variety. (Territorial Seed)

Beautiful, smooth globes are a lovely light green. They are quite uniform, and the flesh is tender and of high quality. These stay tender even as they mature. (Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds)
