We've had a pretty good start to growing KR this year, and as it is indeed a very special vegetable, we're going to grow twice as many next year.

Does the team think that a succession of sowing, starting in - say - March, will produce a regular supply, and if it does, how long does the crop last?

We've still got a couple of dozen lurking under nets, but presumably, they're not growing very much! I'd like to think that they might overwinter, but that may be fantasy...

Lucky you  it doesn't mind a bit of frost, but won't take a really hard freeze, so it just depends on what weather we get...........

Thanks Mums!

As we're nearly neighbours, I reckon you can tell the story pretty well!

I just see these chaps, not much bigger than a hen's egg, and wonder if they'll get hit by frost/slugs etc, but so far, I just LOVE the flavour and texture...

May try to get them under some netting next year - and early!

I'll be trying the same in spring and late summer - my purple ones have got to tennis ball size and are so tasty. You can freeze them if you've got too many.

Good idea, Surbie - once peeled, they won't take up too much room either!

It's the texture which amazes me, they crunch so well, I'm sorry I hadn't discovered them years ago!

I thought one needs to harvest them when they are young and tender, but my plot neighbor left them late and used for stewing

I like kohl rabi - easy to grow and a lovely crunch as you say Growster  

Small and young, they are lovely in salad or grated in a slaw.  Bigger ones get quite turnip like, so I can see them being quite good in stew.  They make a nice soup as well, simmered with a few pot veg then blended with a bit of cream
