Kohlrabi Purple Leaves

Here are some short tips for seeding Kohlrabi with Purple Leaves seeds:

1. Planting Time: Sow seeds in early spring or late summer for fall harvest. Kohlrabi prefers cool temperatures (50-70°F or 10-21°C).

2. Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Add compost to enrich the soil.

3. Sowing Depth: Sow seeds ½ inch deep and space them 6-8 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart once they have a few leaves.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Avoid letting the soil dry out.

5. Sunlight: Choose a sunny spot for best growth, but they can tolerate partial shade.

6. Thinning: Thin to 8-12 inches apart when seedlings are large enough to handle. Proper spacing helps bulbs grow larger.

7. Fertilization: Fertilize lightly with a balanced fertilizer or compost during the growing season.

8. Pest Control: Watch for pests like aphids or cabbage worms. Use organic pest control methods, like neem oil or insecticidal soap.

9. Harvesting: Harvest when the bulbs are 3-4 inches in diameter, usually around 50-60 days after sowing.

Happy gardening!
