Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• Soaking (Optional): Soaking seeds for 4-6 hours can help speed up germination, but it's optional.
• Germination Temperature: Kohlrabi Purple Vienna seeds germinate best at temperatures between 50-75°F (10-24°C).

Sowing Instructions:

• Indoor Start: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost if you're in a cooler climate. Transplant seedlings outdoors once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
• Outdoor Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest, once the soil temperature is between 50-75°F (10-24°C).
• Spacing: Space seeds 1 inch apart and thin the seedlings to 6-8 inches apart once they have developed a few leaves. For rows, space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow ample room for the bulbs to grow.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Kohlrabi Purple Vienna prefers consistently moist soil, so water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging.
• Fertilization: Kohlrabi benefits from organic compost or a balanced organic fertilizer. Apply fertilizer when transplanting or during the early stages of growth.
• Mulching & Weeding: Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Regularly weed to ensure that plants aren’t competing for nutrients.

Harvesting & Storage:

• Harvesting Time: Kohlrabi Purple Vienna is typically ready for harvest in 55-70 days. The bulbs should be harvested when they reach 3-5 inches in diameter. Larger bulbs can become tough and woody.
• Harvesting Method: Use a sharp knife or garden shears to cut the bulb from the base, leaving a few inches of stem attached. Harvest before the bulb gets too large to ensure it remains tender.
• Storage: Kohlrabi can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you have a large harvest, you can also freeze the bulbs after blanching them.

Tips for Success:

• Climate: Kohlrabi grows best in cool weather. Plant it in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. It can tolerate light frosts and will be sweeter if harvested before the heat of summer.
• Pest Control: Watch for pests such as aphids, cabbage worms, and slugs. Use organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, if necessary.
• Continuous Harvest: To ensure a steady supply of fresh Kohlrabi, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest throughout the season.
