It certainly was worth it planting my kohl rabi seedlings out quite early. It didn’t hurt them, they were well protected in one of my raised beds and had a net ‘house’ over them. I have to do the protection lark, the pigeons on the allotment have a great liking for any kind of brassica!

The beauty about this veg is that I get to use everything – the leaves and all. The leaves can be used the same way as spring greens and the bulb is peeled and best eaten raw. It is very crunchy and delicious.

Exactly as I remember it from my childhood.
