Kohlrabi mix (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes). Organic kohlrabi mix is a vibrant and colorful way to introduce a vegetable that is both decorative and tasty to your garden. This assortment of varieties offers a beautiful diversity of fleshy bulbs, ranging from tender green to brilliant purple, which enlivens the growing rows while promising varied and appetizing harvests. Its crisp and sweet flesh, subtly reminiscent of cabbage but with more finesse, lends itself to a multitude of culinary uses, from fresh salads to comforting hot dishes. Its compact habit allows it to be easily integrated into tight gardens, diversified beds, or successive crops throughout the season.
Recommended sowing period: April to August. The depth to respect is 1 cm (0.4 in). Emergence generally takes 5 to 10 days. For germination, maintain the potting soil at 18 to 24 °C (64 to 75 °F). Young kohlrabi plants require light to form short, vigorous plants. Transplant before the roots become crowded, then gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions. Install them in prepared soil that retains regular moisture. Avoid planting the seedlings too close together, anticipating their small initial size: the adult foliage takes up much more space during harvest formation.
These kohlrabi are harvested when their swollen stem is still tender. Stagger harvests according to the development of each plant in the mix, then peel the fibrous parts before cooking. Place the kohlrabi in rows sufficiently spaced to observe the base and heart of the plants. The foliage eventually covers a good portion of the soil: weed early, before access becomes difficult. Avoid placing small, fragile crops directly under their leaves. Well-spaced planting also facilitates the installation of a protective net and the cutting of mature bulbs or stems.

Growing method
Recommended sowing period: April to August. The required depth is 1 cm (0.4 in). Emergence generally takes 5 to 10 days. For germination, maintain the potting soil at 18 to 24 °C (64 to 75 °F). Young cabbages need light to form short, vigorous plants. Transplant before the roots become crowded, then gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions. Plant them in prepared soil that retains regular moisture. Avoid planting too closely together, anticipating their small initial size: adult foliage takes up much more space during harvest formation. Inspect the cabbage leaves, especially their undersides, to spot eggs, caterpillars, or bites early. An insect-appropriate protective cover can help preserve the foliage while allowing air and light to pass through. Keep the heart or head accessible for observation. Harvest before the edible parts harden or open. Use a clean knife to cut without tearing the foliage you wish to keep. Cruciferous vegetables benefit from being monitored from planting. Check the underside of the leaves to spot small caterpillars and early damage.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Well drained
Fertilization
Fertilizing supports growth and takes into account nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suited to the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using multiple products, especially in a container where roots have limited space. Water as needed after application and observe foliage development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Keep the soil moist during germination, avoiding standing water; then adjust according to the crop.
Seasonal care
These kohlrabis are harvested when their swollen stems are still tender. Stagger harvests according to the development of each plant in the mix, then peel fibrous parts before cooking. Young cabbages require light to form short, vigorous plants. Transplant before the roots become crowded, then gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions. Install them in prepared soil that retains consistent moisture. Avoid planting them too close together, anticipating their small initial size: adult foliage takes up much more space during crop formation. Inspect cabbage leaves, especially their undersides, to detect eggs, caterpillars, or bites early. Insect netting can help protect the foliage while allowing air and light to pass through. Keep the heart or head accessible for observation. Harvest before edible parts harden or open. Use a clean knife to cut without tearing foliage you wish to keep. Crucifers benefit from monitoring from planting onward. Look at the undersides of leaves to spot small caterpillars and early damage. Netting installed early can protect the crop, provided there is enough space for the foliage. Close the edges well after care, without pinching leaves against the mesh. This assortment of varieties offers a beautiful diversity of fleshy heads, ranging from tender green to brilliant purple, which enlivens the rows of cultivation while promising varied and appetizing harvests.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Suitable for containers
Yes
Recommended pot size
A stable container, with drainage holes, of sufficient width for the plant to spread out and sufficient depth for the roots
Choose this exposure: sun. Reserve this spacing around the plant: 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 in.). In a container, reserve enough space for a cabbage so that its foliage is not compressed against that of a neighbor. The pot must remain stable as the harvested part grows. Keep the root ball fresh and check the underside of the leaves during watering. The choice of container is based on adult development, even if the young plant still seems small at the time of repotting. Organic kohlrabi mix is a lively and colorful way to introduce a vegetable that is as decorative as it is tasty into the garden. This assortment of varieties offers a beautiful diversity of fleshy bulbs, ranging from tender green to brilliant purple, which livens up the rows while promising varied and appetizing harvests. Its crisp and sweet flesh, subtly reminiscent of cabbage with more finesse, lends itself to a multitude of culinary uses, from fresh salads to comforting hot dishes. Its compact habit allows it to be easily integrated into tight vegetable gardens, diversified beds, or successive crops throughout the season.

Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
In a diversified plantation, you can reserve neighboring sections for these plants: lettuce, carrot, beet. The association here serves to organize space and harvests. Respect the height, light, and water needs of each plant, without crowding the foliage. Maintain an aisle for watering and harvesting, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance without promising protection against pests. Place cabbages in sufficiently spaced rows to observe the base and heart of the plants.

Edible parts
Swollen stem and young leaves
Kohlrabi Stir-fry Recipe: vegetable stir-fry for four servings. Prepare 400g of the harvested kohlrabi, one clove of garlic, 15ml of oil, and 30ml of water. Cut the stems, ribs, or firm parts into small pieces and set the leaves aside. Heat the oil, sauté the garlic without burning it, then add the firm pieces and water. Cover for a few minutes. Then add the leaves or tender parts and continue cooking until desired texture is reached. Season to taste and serve hot. Prepare the ingredients with clean utensils and adjust the cutting to the size of your harvest. This recipe highlights freshly picked parts: remove any damaged pieces before preparation. If you double the quantities, ensure enough space in the pan for even mixing or cooking. Promptly refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and consume within two days. For a two-person meal, simply divide all quantities by two.

How to plant a mixed Kohlrabi crop?
Place cabbages in rows far enough apart to be able to observe the base and heart of the plants. The foliage eventually covers a good part of the soil: weed early, before access becomes difficult. Avoid placing fragile small crops directly under their leaves. Well-spaced planting also facilitates the installation of a protective net and the cutting of mature heads or stems. Inspect cabbage leaves, especially their undersides, to spot eggs, caterpillars, or bites early. Insect netting can help protect the foliage while allowing air and light to pass through.
