    She can make ads for vegetables with her voice and that beautiful smile she'll convince more people into eating veges they never tasted before. I mean I'm definitely willing to taste the kohlrabi thing now🤔

      We just made some homemade kohlrabi ice cream from our kohlrabi harvest. So Tasty! I think kohlrabi is our new favorite veggie.

    I'm growing them for the first time here in North Pole, Alaska; plain and purple varieties. The summer has been cool and wet; they are setting bulbs about tennis ball size. Will be giving them a taste test having lived 72 years w/o eating them.

      We recently discovered kohlrabi as well, and we love it! We just made kohlrabi ice cream and it is simply delicious. Maybe you can try that as well.

      ​@@GutenGardening When I first saw your comment, I thought the words "ice cream" there had to be a mistake! Yet I searched, and your very own video came right up! Very cool video! So fun to learn the recipe!

      @Jim Gerth it's very interesting and fun to hear about food growing in North Pole, Alaska! And about anyone trying kohlrabi for the first time! It's been one of our top favorites since the first time we tried it. We love broccoli stem, and find kohlrabi bulb even more delicious, being slightly crisper, slightly juicier and slightly sweeter. We love kohlrabi leaves too - more delicious than kale to us. Hope you'll report how your growing goes, and how you and yours like the kohlrabi bulb and leaf!

    One of our fave vegetables. Fast growing too. All parts of the plant are edible. You can use it in as many ways as potatoes, but unlike potatoes they're also great raw. Amazing and so versatile.

      kohlrabi is hungry and doesn't love stress (who does?!), and nonetheless she is more finicky than some other vegetables. try transplanting the seeds, if you haven't already! then the thinning isn't a limiting factor.

      Zones! Kohlrabi can thrive in AK as well as the Caribbean --- she loves abundant fertility and prefers cool/warm seasons to hot. in addition to adding abundant compost to our soil, we foliar feed with our fish emulsion each week. We share it here, if you'd love to try some: www.fruitionseeds.com/Fish-Kelp-Emulsion-p/a17.htm
