Sow Purple Vienna Kohlrabi seeds directly in the garden about 1/4 inch deep, 2-4 weeks before the last frost date for a spring crop, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 8-12 inches apart to allow proper bulb development.
Provide consistent watering and mulch to retain moisture and keep the soil cool. Harvest bulbs when they are 2-3 inches in diameter for the best flavor and tenderness. Regular harvesting encourages continued production. Kohlrabi is relatively pest-resistant but watch for aphids and cabbage worms.
