| I have a two beds of kohlrabi, one bed of spinach and a bed of salad and heaps of Manchester carrrots to get through in four weeks before tomato planting time. I'm thinking carrot and orange soup, freezing cooked silverbeet, eating salad for a week. But what about kohl rabi? Any storage ideas? Thanks, Grub |

| No problem at all - send your Kohlrabi to my address. I don't seem to be able to grow the darn thing. And I love Kohlrabi. You can cut it in 1cm thick slices and crumb it. Then fry it. Totally delicious!
Kohlrabi soup.
Cut up in sticks and munch liked that.
I'm not sure how well it freezes.
Or just send to my address. Oh, I think I mentioned that already. ;) |

Thanks Spatz.
You are always such a great source of inspiration. I'm going to try kohlrabi fritters. I wish I could get some to you. I have a spare box of the purple balls.
BTW: How are your winter crops? What are you harvesting now?
Best, Grub |

Great photo Grub, I wish I had something growing in my garden!
Still I'll get my new garden soon & then I'll have heaps of fun! Sarah *determined to stay positive even though the glass looks 3/4 empty at the moment* |

Fill the bugger up again Sarah!
I wish I could grow carrots like those. I have tried but nadda.
Small twisted little roots is all I get.
Sounds like my teenage years, but thats another story :-) |

| Grub, let us know what you did with the Kohlrabi, and how it tasted! No winter crops here to speak of. I am, however, proud of my lettuce selection. Red and Green Cos, Red and Green Oakleaf, Purple Mustard. One lone Shungiku for seed saving. Ripped out the Kohlrabi as it went from miserable seedling straight to flowering. Some lone leeks somewhere. The Broad Beans are doing fantastically well. But they always do. :) We'll be harvesting pretty soon. There is some Greek Spinach. But it's still a bit small. Spring vegies are soon to be harvested. The first spears of Asparagus were delicious. Waiting for more. Globe Artichokes are growing nicely, no flower buds yet, though. Bit early. |

Spatz,
Good news on the lettuce. I really miss my Oakleaf. So dependable. I'm yet to grow Broadbeans but really must. I wish I had fresh Asparagus. It's such a treat. But my Sugarsnaps are a terrific success. Will be planting 100 next year. One little tray costs about $5 from shops. Greek Spinach sounds interesting. Not in my catalogue. My Lucullus Silverbeet is tearing away. Can't get near it without the chooks screaming for some. Very nice light green leaf. Nice flavour. I wish I could get some Kohlrabi to you. The Purple Aliens are everywhere. I ended-up eating about four of the kohlrabi raw. Then I cooked a stir fry with the sugar snaps, carrot and choko tips with some slivers of Kohlrabi. So I must admit I put the KR fritters on hold. For now. I also ate the rest of the carrots raw and, get this, I bit into one that snapped so loundly I thought I had broken a tooth. Talk about crunchy carrots. Sweet and crunchy. They get the nod. The few carrots too close to the side dressing of manure for the lettuce nearby were slightly forked. But all others are nice and long. Except for the odd one that hit a stone and grew as a stub. Bottomline: I do recommend Manchester Table a top carrot to sow in Sydney in early winter and harvest in spring. |
