07-07-08 Giant Kohlrabi



I've got a giant kohlrabi out of the garden today! This one weighs 3.15 lb. It's the White Globe Kohlrabi from New Dimension Seed (http://newdimensionseed.com). It grows big without getting pithy. As an experiment, I sowed them in early march, and then transplanted them under the cover of the Minihooper while it was still cold outside in later April. They did so well. In the same patch, I also sowed cabbages, fava beans and beets. All are doing well. I have been eating the cabbages for quite a while. I think my first head was harvested in June 15. This proofs that provide covering for vegetables can really accelerate the garden. I will have to do this every year from now on...
