Kohlrabi cultivation report

Green potatoes at the base of the stem? The taste is similar to cabbage? Let’s spend a happy autumn while watching how rare vegetables grow!

I’m Cammy, a kohlrabi fairy. By the way, did you know kohlrabi? Well, it’s normal that you don’t know Kohlrabi. Actually, there are some areas where they are sold at supermarkets, but there are many people who don’t know what they are and have never eaten. Is it similar to cabbage or broccoli in terms of taste? But the texture is softer and a little sweeter. As the kohlrabi grows, the base of the stem grows round and round, and this is a very strange and kiteretsu shape. Why don’t you try growing such rare vegetables that make you think that it is a plant on another planet?

A strong kohlrabi that is extremely cold. Even in the middle of winter, the lush foliage colored the ocher garden in winter. It seems that the growth has stopped soon, so I’ll harvest it here.
Cammy
If you don’t go crazy. You’ll be surprised at how rooted it was. A wild and energetic kohlrabi, it looks like everyone is banzai!
Cammy
The “space trip” of kohlrabi like a spaceship, like Russia’s Sputnik, is about to end. After that, you can boil it, bake it, and enjoy the mysterious texture!
