To start, sow seeds directly into the ground in spring when the soil has warmed up, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Sow 1 cm deep in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Space the plants 25 to 30 cm apart to allow them to fully develop. Germination occurs in 7 to 14 days.
Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture and encourage rapid growth, which is essential for tender bulbs. Harvest about 6-8 weeks after sowing, when the bulbs reach their optimum size of 7-10cm, to prevent them from becoming fibrous.
Kohlrabi 'Purple Delicacy' is an elegant and nutritious variety, bringing a colorful and tasty touch to your vegetable garden and your dishes.
