Its fast-growing cycle and cool-season preference make it a popular choice for many gardens. Early White Kohlrabi is a delightful cool-season crop that adds a unique and mild flavor to your culinary creations. Following these growing instructions will help you successfully cultivate this tasty and versatile vegetable in your garden.

  • Plant Early White Kohlrabi in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. It needs at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • The soil should be well-drained, fertile, and slightly acidic with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0.
  • Sow kohlrabi seeds directly in the garden in early spring for a spring harvest or late summer for a fall harvest.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
  • Thin seedlings to stand 4-6 inches apart once they have a few leaves. Adequate spacing allows the bulbs to develop properly.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist, as kohlrabi prefers well-hydrated conditions. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
  • Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or well-rotted compost when planting.
  • You can side-dress with additional fertilizer or compost during the growing season.
  • Watch for common kohlrabi pests such as cabbage worms and aphids. Implement pest control methods as needed.
  • Kohlrabi is relatively resistant to diseases, but keep an eye out for fungal issues and treat as required.
  • Early White Kohlrabi is typically ready for harvest 50-60 days after sowing.
  • Harvest when the bulbs reach 2-3 inches in diameter. They should be tender and crisp for the best flavour.
  • Store harvested kohlrabi in the refrigerator for up to a few weeks. It's best enjoyed fresh.
  • Seed count: 20
