Transplanting Kohl Rabi plants

Like most plants, if you can transplant without disturbing the root system too much, then they will probably be fine - but thinning by its nature probably means you'll have problems removing them from the soil without disturbing the roots, and without upsetting their neighbours.

Brassicas like their space, so you definitely need to thin them out if they are looking cramped.

If you have loads of spare space, then transplant them and see how they go. If you are short on space, then I wouldn't bother.

Thank you Ben. I don't think that i have anything to lose really, so i will have a go at transplanting them. I did use some of the young tops to day for dinner like Spring greens  and they were ok. Right now i'm off to plant the rest of the thinnings. Thanks again for your advice.

we transplanted ours and they are all doing well.  Trouble is it was OH's decision to plant them and we have loads but it is something I have never even bought from a supermarket before, let alone cooked with.... Hope I can find recipes and we like it or it will end up as pig feed! 

I had some for lunch today and they were ok. Less than size of a tennis ball as recommended (some I saw at Hampton Court yesterday were the size of a kid's football - must have been inedible!!)- didn't peel - just steamed for about 15 mins, then sliced, fried in butter and added  lemon juice and parsley at the end a la Jane Grigson. Perfectly decent vegetable cooked like that. I'll eat it again.
