Kohl Rabi or as the Maltese call it 'Gidra' is a type of turnip. Very sweet and juicy and it is good in Soups, and also in salads. We eat it raw, with bread and tomatoes, so delicious. I buy seedlings in September and in February and I can say that the winter crop is more successful and sweeter. I plant the seedlings 12inch apart along the drip, and simply wait for nature to take it's time which is roughly three months. Be careful with butterflies as caterpillars can skeleton the leaves in just one day! Take regular look at the leaves, and kill the caterpillars when small by squashing them with your hands!
It is the second week of may and one third of the crop is fully grown.
