The taste of kohlrabi cabbage is juicy, sweetish, without the sharpness characteristic of white cabbage. The overgrown stem tastes like a cabbage stalk, but kohlrabi is much tastier and juicier.
Where is the best place to plant kohlrabi
Kohlrabi loves lighted places and fertile, light soil. It can be planted where potatoes, onions, tomatoes or legumes used to grow. So that the plant does not get sick, you should not place it in place of the cruciferous. Before direct sowing of seeds or planting seedlings, the land is fertilized with manure compost.
Planting and caring for kohlrabi
Soil: any with a pH of 6.7-7.4, except for depleted soils. Watering: at first - every 2-3 days, when the seedlings are accepted - once a week. In the heat, water often, but not as plentifully as other varieties of cabbage. The soil in the garden should be slightly damp all the time.
How to sow kohlrabi cabbage
Kohlrabi can be sown immediately in open ground or grown in seedlings. Sowing immediately on the beds is carried out in the spring, from mid-April to the end of May. Seedlings are sown on seedlings 5 weeks before planting in open soil. The fate of your crop will largely depend on other plants. How long does kohlrabi grow
Sow seeds for seedlings - germination lasts up to 10 days. From the first shoots to the planting of young plants in open ground, about 50-55 days pass.
