If you ask us, kohlrabi is one of the most under appreciated super awesome vegetables out there! We like to tell confused customers and CSA members that its like a mix between a broccoli stem and an apple. Eat it raw (after peeling) and it'll brighten up any salad or crudite platter with its fresh and simple taste and crunchy texture, or cook it like you would a broccoli raab or even kale. As a cousin to broccoli its flavor is very similar, and like broccoli the leaves are edible too! Easy to grow and easy to eat.. a winning combination for a home gardener veggie! Don’t pack more than 4 plants per square foot, keeping it to 2 or 3 per square foot is safer but if you have lots of sun and can keep the aphids at bay you can try the higher plant count. Instead of direct seeding we recommend starting these plants in cell trays and transplanting them at around 3 weeks old.

We label them with handwritten compostable wooden labels and pack them in recyclable boxes to keep them safe on their journey. Our delivery partners, Roadie, take it from there and head to the Redlands to pick up your order. Communication and tracking take place via Roadie and your driver will leave your plants in a safe and covered area.
Plant Care
Plant Care
When your plant delivery arrives, make sure you water your new plants thoroughly with a light spray of water (none of this thumb over the hose stuff). We recommend planting them within 10 days of receiving them. If you do intent to wait to plant them, we recommend placing them in a shallow reservoir (like a baking pan) and filling it with half an inch of water so they can drink the water from below while you are at work and place them in an area with plenty of sun. When planting in your garden always add a dash of Organic granular fertilizer, and give them extra water during their first week in their new home, while they adjust. We recommend disturbing the root ball as little as possible during planting.
