Unique Facts About Noolkol Seeds

  • Noolkol is commonly known as kohlrabi, a member of the cabbage family.
  • The edible swollen stem develops above ground rather than forming a traditional root.
  • Kohlrabi is closely related to cabbage, broccoli, kale, and cauliflower.
  • Both the swollen stem and young leaves can be eaten.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season:
Grow Noolkol during cool weather. In warmer climates, sow during the cooler months and avoid periods of intense summer heat.

Sowing:
Sow seeds directly into prepared garden soil or start them in seed trays for later transplanting. Cover lightly with fine soil.

Depth and Spacing:
Plant seeds approximately 0.5–1 cm deep. Thin or transplant seedlings to provide around 15–30 cm of space between plants.

Sunlight:
Choose a location receiving full sun. Some light afternoon shade can help in warmer climates.

Soil:
Use fertile, loose, well-drained soil enriched with mature compost or other organic matter. Avoid poorly drained areas.

Watering:
Keep soil consistently moist during germination and active growth. Water when the surface begins to dry, while avoiding saturated conditions.

Germination:
Seeds generally germinate within several days when provided with suitable moisture, temperature, and soil conditions.

Transplanting:
If starting indoors, transplant young seedlings carefully once they are established. Minimize root disturbance and water them after planting.

Fertilizing:
Work compost or a balanced vegetable fertilizer into the soil before planting. Additional feeding can be used during active growth if the soil requires it.

Care:
Keep the growing area free from weeds and maintain steady moisture. Monitor plants regularly for common cabbage-family pests.

Maturity and Harvest:
Harvest the swollen stems while they are young and tender, generally before they become oversized or woody. Harvest timing varies by variety and growing conditions.
