Kohl Rabi Azure Star

Sow: Mar to Aug
Harvest: Jun to Oct

Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and lightly cover with a little more compost. Place in warmth (10–15 °C) and keep moist. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant 5 cm apart into trays of potting compost. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over 2–3 weeks before planting out to final positions 20 cm apart from late spring onwards.

Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds thinly in a shallow, pre-watered row. Lightly cover with soil and keep moist until seedlings are established, then thin to 2 cm apart.

Transplanting Outdoors
When seedlings have produced about four true leaves, transplant to cropping positions, allowing 20 cm between plants and 30 cm between rows.

Harvest
Harvest young, when bulbs are no bigger than a tennis ball, for best texture. Sow successional batches to extend the cropping season. Water well in dry spells. Use netting or fleece to protect against cabbage root fly.
