| Kohl Rabi leaves provide foliage contrast with other veggies |
October 17th and we are well into spring. Today the weather was perfect and it was a pleasure to walk around the garden and admire all the lovely textures and colours as winter vegetables go to flower. Kohl Rabi doesn't produce much that is edible and takes up valuable space but I grow it mainly for its decorative foliage. It is harvested when the above-ground swollen stem is about the size of a tennis ball. It tastes very much like turnip and is best prepared by peeling, cutting into dice and adding to soup or chick pea casserole or curry. The leaves are edible but are tough except when very young.
