A Photo of Kohl Rabi

Well I pull out all the spinach in Garden Bed #1 and planted some Kohl Rabi seeds in it’s place. The Spinach wasnt’ doing well, and some of it already went to seed, so I yanked it all out, threw it into the compost bin, tilled up the dirt to make it all nice and then planted some White Vienna Kohl Rabi seeds.

I had already started some Purple Vienna Kohl Rabi plants, and I also planted those in Garden Bed #2 in between the Broccoli and the Leeks.

If you have never tried Kohl Rabi, it’s really good fresh and uncooked, it’s very very and sort of like a mild turnip. You just peel off the skin, and then cut it into bite size pieces. Great in salads. I have never had it cooked, but I am sure you can cook it, and I’ve also heard you can use the leaves as well.

Well, I added some new soil to garden bed #3, Miracle Grow Organic Garden Soil, plus some compost, and used my Mantis tiller to mix it all up, then replanted some new tomato plants and a tomatillo plant as well. The weather has been a lot warmer and sunnier lately, so hopefully these plants will do much better than the ones pulled out yesterday. I planted a beefsteak hybrid, smallfry, & yellow pear. I have never grown the tomatillo before so no idea what to expect there. Hopefully the tomatillo, along with the peppers growing in the green house will make some good salsa verde.
