300+ White Viena Kohlrabi Seeds(Brassica oleracea) Garden VegetableKohlrabi belong to the Brassicacea(Cruciferae) or cabbage family, other members include cabbage,kale,collard,broccoli,Brussels sprouts, and turnips. White Vienna kohlrabi is very popular and matures earlier than Purple Vienna by 5 to 10 days. This variety produces pale-green smooth flattened globe shaped bulbs with white flesh that are best when harvested at 2 to 2.5" in diameter. Sweet, tasty flesh is good in salads, for snacking or light cooking. Sowing · Start kohlrabi from seed sown indoors or directly in the garden 8 to 4 weeks before you expect the last frost. Sow seed ¼ to ½ (6-12 mm) inch deep and be sure to heel or stamp the soil firmly. Sow seed 2 inches (5 cm) apart and later thin to 5 to 8 inches (13-20 cm) in all directions. To improve germination sow seed at dusk or on a cool, cloudy day. Sow seed in loose, fertile soil. Adding aged compost to planting beds in advance of sowing will feed the soil and aide moisture retention. Seeds should germinate in 5 to 10 days at an optimal temperature of 70°F (21C) or thereabouts; germination will take longer in colder soil. Optimum soil temperature to grow kohlrabi is 65°F (18°C). Make additional sowing at 3-week intervals for a continuous harvest, but time sowing so that crop does not mature in hot weather. Planting Kohlrabi prefers a soil pH range of 5.5 to 6.8. Grow kohlrabi in full sun for best yield—tolerates partial shade .Fertilize with an organic fertilizer such as fish emulsion at half strength. Common pest enemies include aphids, flea beetles, and cabbage root maggots, cabbage worms, and cabbage loopers. Protect the seedlings from pests and cold for two to three weeks after planting with spun poly row covers. Harvesting Kohlrabi matures in 45 to 60 days depending on the variety. When the swollen stem enlarges to 2 to 3 inches in diameter, harvest kohlrabi by cutting at ground level. Kohlrabi can be eaten raw or cooked, and it stores well for winter use.
