 plants may be placed in rows two feet asunder and a foot apart.

Kohl Rabi {Brassica Carlo Rapes caudo, fig. 158) is sometimes grown 

 at my garden for the cattle. Occasionally we have cooked it by way 

 of experiment, but it is, at best, an indifferent vegetal. The seed 

 is sown in February and planted out in May, when by autumn the 

 bulbs are fairly formed. It is particularly adapted for dry summers, 

 as the hotter and drier the summer, the finer the bulbs. 



We always grow a limited amount of Kale {Brassica oleracea).
