Growing Tips

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, about 1 inch of water per week. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and control weeds.
• Fertilizing: Kohlrabi benefits from a light, balanced fertilizer halfway through the growing season. Ensure adequate potassium and calcium for strong bulb formation.
• Companion Plants: Good companions include onions, beets, and cucumbers. Avoid planting near strawberries and tomatoes to reduce disease risk.

Harvesting

• Timing: Harvest when bulbs reach 2-3 inches in diameter for best flavor and tenderness.
• Method: Cut at the soil line, removing the leaves and roots. Store unwashed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a month.
• Taste Tip: Bulbs harvested after a fall frost tend to be sweeter.
