Growing Kohlrabi

View the Kohlrabi page

12 Nov 13 Experimental Gardener (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I direct sowed in the garden at half the recommended distance to allow for seeds that didn't germinate, half my luck all seeds did. I left them rather than thin them out. The largest of my bulbs were a bit bigger than golf balls, but had lots of leaf growth coming from the bulb, I plucked the odd one or two as they reached this stage, initially I thought the majority wouldn't form a bulb but as I removed the odd one the others did eventually bulb up apart from a couple. I grew the Purple Vienna during autumn and have now left a couple to go to seed. Even though it is out of season I"m trying my luck with the White Vienna variety at the moment.
