These Sputnik-shape vegetables may look alien, but their fast growth and great taste make them something every gardener should try in their garden. Here’s how to plant, grow, and harvest kohlrabi!
About Kohlrabi
A cool-season biennial and member of the Brassica family (alongside broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and many others), kohlrabi is grown for its nutritious, bulb-shaped stem. The stem is crisp, sweet, and tender, making it a great addition to salads or stir-fries. In terms of taste, think of kohlrabi as a milder turnip.
Given the right conditions, kohlrabi is easy to grow, matures quickly (in as little as 6 weeks), and is generally pest-free. Give it a try!
