Market Farming

Some varieties are not well adapted that is why a seeming great variety will 
disappear from the catalogs. I used to grow a lot of kohlrabi for market and 
would see splitting when I pushed them to a larger size. This may be your 
problem. Bob.

Hi Andy,

Our purple kohlibri is coming in real nicely. I'm also growing kossak for the 
first time but we haven't started harvesting it yet. I'll let you know if we 
run into any cracking. I will say it hasn't sized up the way we'd 
anticipated. They're nice looking "bulbs" but nothing enormous like 
described. I think the purple is as big and a little better looking at this 
point. 

We'll see how they turn out though. And I'll keep you posted if we run into 
cracking.
