Kohlrabi Logo: Sowing, planting and harvest calendar
How do you sow 'Logo' kohlrabi under cover?
Start 'Logo' kohlrabi under cover for a spring crop, especially if the ground outside remains cold or heavy. Adjust timing to the seed packet and your climate. Do not start too early without suitable space for the young plants: prolonged cold can encourage bolting.
Fill modules or small pots with drainage holes using fine, free-draining seed compost. Moisten it, put two seeds in each module and cover with about 1 to 1.5 cm of compost according to the packet. Firm lightly and water without displacing seeds. Keep the compost moist, never saturated, and place containers in bright conditions with a mild temperature.
After emergence, retain one strong seedling per module. Ventilate when the shelter becomes hot and check moisture daily. Avoid letting plants become too large or roots become tangled: kohlrabi establishes better when transplanted young with its rootball intact. Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions before planting. Wait for reliably mild weather, generally above 10 °C, rather than suddenly exposing them to cold. The swollen stem intended for harvest will subsequently develop above ground. Label the containers with the cultivar and sowing date.
