KOHL-RABI LEEK 
A few years ago only the most enthusiastic gardeners 
planted this vegetable. Now it is not an uncommon sight 
to find the children eating them raw from the garden the 
same as turnips. Seed should be sown early in the spring 
as possible and thinned to about six inches apart. Plant 
at intervals of 10 days so that you will have a succession 
of bulbs throughout the hot weather as they fail to grow 
when the weather becomes too warm.
