No problems with Kossak.  It looks great this year (one of the few things other than tomatoes that have done really well).

Subject: [Market-farming] Kohlrabi Cracking

 

Hi,

I am growing Kossack Kohlrabi for the first time and am encountering cracking in all sizes of the kohlrabi. Some is cracked in the field and some cracks when the stems are trimmed off.  The other varieities of kohlrabi I've grown, mainly Kolibri, have never cracked.  Has anyone else seen cracking in their kohlrabi?  Are some varieties more susceptible?
