Seed Count
Named for a German word meaning "cabbage turnip," kohlrabi was developed first around the 16th century in northern Europe. By the end of that century, it had spread throughout the rest of the continent as well as to the Mediterranean region. The first recorded mention of kohlrabi in the States is found in the early 16th century. More recently, the countries of China, Israel, and Africa have discovered this vegetable; it has become quite a staple of northern Indian cuisine. Purple Vienna heirloom kohlrabi in particular dates back to 1863.

Purple Vienna Kohlrabi is categorized as an annual crop. This means that the plants will grow quickly from freshly harvested seeds, and will later produce bulbs/fruits, flowers and seeds all within a single growing season. If allowed to bolt, your Kohlrabi plants will produce pods in mid to late Summer. The pods are filled with seeds, which can be collected and stored for regrowing the following season.

Kohlrabi is a cool-weather vegetable that prefers full-sun and consistently-moist growing media for quick growth. Kohlrabi that goes without water will become woody. Do not overcrowd your gardening system, as kohlrabi has large roots that need a lot of room as they grow. Kohlrabi is prone to the typical cabbage family pests, but insect netting may be used early on to help prevent an infestation. This often-overlooked crop has a mild cabbage flavor, and the texture or consistency to that of a broccoli stem. It can be eaten raw, steamed, or roasted; or it can be used in stir fry or soup. Kohlrabi greens can also be eaten in salads.

COMMON PESTS: Aphids, Cabbage White, Cabbage Looper, Armyworm, Thrips

SUSCEPTIBLE TO: Damping Off, Clubroot, Powdery Mildew, Leaf Spot, Black Rot
