Hi @Sabina13 It's not too late to sow kohl rabi seeds as they are very fast growing. I would recommend a new variety called 'Kossak' which grows much larger and doesn't get woody and I also grow the old standard 'Purple Vienna'.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Hahaha I can see why you'd think I might want to sow kohl rabi seeds with the tangent this thread took bob.
I've never really thought about kohl rabi. I dont like any veg that isnt sweet (oh dear). I can only tolerate red cabbage and baby beets because my turkish friends have had me sample such veg in salads dripping with vinigar and lemon juice (I think - never actually asked for a recipe) but it takes away the actual taste of the vegetable
Cucamelons on the other hand; which I hadnt ever tasted until very recently, have the cool tang/bite I like, and its one that's fun to look at.
Kohlrabi is definitely for eating raw, grated and dressed. Love it, but then we do eat and like plenty of vegetables tho I draw the line at swede and white asparagus.
Cucamelons? less flavour than either cucumber or melon so utter waste of space and water to grow.

Maybe I'll taste kohl rabi some day!
