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, after buying several bags of compost for my garden, I started to think about maybe I should do my own composting. So I purchased a composter bin, one of those barrel shaped bins with a handle that allows you to turn it over and over and I also started composting all my kitchen scraps: peels, egg shells, coffee grinds (I make a pot of coffee every day). Being a single person home, I always have extra vegetables in the fridge from the store, I used to just throw them out, but now I put them in a compost bucket, then every few days take it out to the compost bin, and dump it all in. I should have some great nutrient compost for next season for sure.
