KOHL RABI - FULL MOON

Brassica oleracea var gongylodes

The bulb and stems of Full Moon are white with a pale green tinge.  The flesh of the vegetable is crisp white and sweet. The bulbs can be eaten raw like an apple or slice the bulbs up for salad when young, or cook like turnip. The bulb can also be grated or finely sliced and added to make a delicious stir-fry. This is a very underated vegetable that should be more widely grown and experimented with in cooking.  It is often used in commercial stirfry mixes without most people knowing.

Prepare the soil well with matured manure and ample compost as they like a rich soil structure. Direct sow seed in clumps 15 to 20cm apart with approx 35cm between rows. Cover the seeds with more fine compost or a fine layer of vermiculite. Water in gently. Thin seedlings to the strongest specimen in each 20cm of row. As the stems develop, heap some straw mulch around their bases. This helps to stop the dirt from washing between the leaves. Harvest about 8 weeks, when the bulbs are around 5-7cm.

Do not let them over mature as they will go tough.

QTY 120 seeds.
