Growing Kohlrabi 'Early Purple Vienna'
When it comes to growing Kohlrabi 'Early Purple Vienna', it's important to provide the plant with the right conditions to thrive. Here are some tips to help you successfully cultivate this unique vegetable:
1. Choosing the Right Location
Kohlrabi grows best in full sun, so choose a location in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter.
2. Sowing the Seeds
Sow the seeds directly into the garden bed, ½ inch deep and about 12-18 inches apart. If you prefer, you can start the seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date and transplant the seedlings once they've reached a sturdy size.
3. Watering and Fertilizing
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering, as kohlrabi leaves are prone to rot. Applying a balanced organic fertilizer once a month will help promote healthy growth.
4. Thinning and Mulching
Once the seedlings have emerged, thin them to allow proper spacing. Mulching around the plants will help conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a more consistent soil temperature.
5. Pest and Disease Control
Kohlrabi is generally resistant to pests and diseases, but it's still important to monitor your plants regularly. Handpick any pests you spot and consider using organic pest control methods if necessary.
6. Harvesting
Kohlrabi 'Early Purple Vienna' is ready to harvest when the bulb reaches about 2-3 inches in diameter. Harvest by gently pulling the entire plant out of the ground, taking care not to damage the bulb.
Enjoying Your Kohlrabi
Now that you have successfully grown your Kohlrabi 'Early Purple Vienna', it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Here are some delicious ways to use this versatile vegetable:
- Raw in Salads: Slice or grate the kohlrabi bulb and add it to your favorite salads for a crunchy and refreshing twist.
- Roasted or Grilled: Toss kohlrabi slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast or grill them until tender for a flavorful side dish.
- Stir-Fried: Cut the kohlrabi into thin strips and stir-fry it with other vegetables and your choice of protein for a quick, healthy meal.
- Added to Soups and Stews: Kohlrabi can impart a delightful flavor to soups and stews, making them even more comforting and satisfying.
