Growing Organic Purple Vienna Kohlrabi in the Vegetable Garden
Direct sow in early spring or late summer for fall crops, or start indoors 4-6 weeks early. Plant 0.25 inch deep; thin or transplant to 6-8 inches, with rows 12-18 inches. Keep soil evenly moist for steady growth and the smoothest, most tender bulbs.
Harvest stems at 2-3 inches across for peak sweetness. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Succession sow every 2-3 weeks through the cool season.
Harvesting of Organic Purple Vienna Kohlrabi
Cut stems when firm and still small; peel the outer skin if the bulbs size up. Leaves are edible—cook like kale. Rinse and chill promptly for crisp texture.

Tips From Our Gardeners
"Put sliced kohlrabi on a relish tray or charcuterie board, especially with ranch dressing. Aim for quick, steady growth—crowding or drought can toughen stems. Pick at 2-3 inches and keep sowing successions for a long harvest window."
