HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 



KOHLRABI, OR TURNIP-ROOTED CABBAGE 



a very early crop, seeds may be sown in a seed 

 flat, indoors, about middle of March. When the 

 seedlings make the second pair of leaves, thin them out 

 to stand an inch apart in the row, about two feet between 

 the row, and cultivate like cabbage. 



To enjoy kohlrabi constantly, make repeated sowings 

 outdoors during April and May. This provides tender 

 two-inch roots throughout June and July. Kohlrabi 

 does not thrive during the hot summer months. For this 

 reason, additional sowings should not be made until end 

 of July and early August. These will provide roots for 

 fall use and winter storage. 



Kohlrabi may be either boiled and served with a cream 

 dressing, like turnips, or cooked and sliced cold, as a 

 salad. Early White, as shown above, and Early Purple 

 Vienna are both very delicate sorts, ready for use in sixty 

 days after seeds are sown.
