Hello everyone, and welcome to the Chunmanyuan Forum.
This is Li share the experience in Toronto for everyone to grow
vegetables. Today
we take a look at how kind my kohlrabi. I pull
up a. The diameter
of about 12 cm in size
almost like, size is enough to eat.
The kohlrabi usually we Chinese like. But the
kind of time does not necessarily have to kind of come out. What's the reason?
Two reasons. First, any vegetable varieties, before planting
need to go through a screening test. That means it must be
only buy seeds from local seed companies, and then
after you or a neighbor planting,
confirmed that it is indeed capable of cabbage
varieties in order to use this. This is the first. The second
of the kohlrabi, then it points to two situations: one is early spring sowing
summer income kohlrabi, one is planted in late summer
and autumn to collect the kohlrabi. Sometimes these two varieties
will not perform well
if you reverse them . Our side
there is a purple kohlrabi.
This purple kohlrabi has been planted here in spring.
Its performance is better than this.
It now just reversed: the green kohlrabi
shape already so big, but purple
kohlrabi, then the largest and only five centimeters. So
we are very understanding of the characteristics of each variety.
I kohlrabi this species is from a well-known Canadian
seed companies to
buy, West Coast Seeds.
If you are interested kohlrabi, kohlrabi species if
there is a failure, that go there to buy seed just fine.
Find a link to it, then you can buy in the
spring species. Then grow seedlings indoors in March.
After 40 to 50 days of nursery, they will
be transplanted outdoors at the end of April. But
to cover the beginning of this month after transplanting
use a small shed. This is to say that to cover the end of May to early June,
we have cover in early March early April transplanting
seedlings, covering later.
Then the kohlrabi can be harvested around mid-June.
That our words
are my seedlings in early August in sterile.
It was to be very nervous, this line between the leek
inside sterile seedlings. To tell the truth to its condition
is not very good, it is now known that the performance is so good, next year you
have to treat it, it is good to educating the seedlings, that
I believe will grow larger.
After the nursery about August 10, where
the piece of bean plant harvested after September 10th
only to this kind of ground beans inside.
So why am I planting in this bean field?
Because I know that this cruciferous vegetable has more problems.
So if deliberately planted in the ground beans inside, so the beans
fertilize the ground after the first point to compare
it fat, loose soil.
The second point I buried with scum beans in below to make
fertilizer, to ensure adequate its fertility.
You don't need to use these fertilizers such as chicken dung and cow dung to
ensure its health.
Sure enough, that it is now grown in this way, it did not live up to my
hopes. This is probably
more than two dozen kohlrabi,
eat for a while.
Today not want to close it, just check to see
how well it long. Pretty good. Just cool today, it is estimated that
this October under the cream that we put cover it up.
Its cold resistance is about three degrees below zero, which is not the strongest.
Today, the temperature is a little bit low, it is not very energetic. But it
is not a problem to the future minus. Plus I did a cover
later, it can carry
a temperature of about minus 5 degrees, no problem.
That we use it as a breed November to
eat, but also arrived in time. The entire layout of vegetables
so. What is the other problem
, pests. Pieris rapae likes to eat cabbage very much.
This kohlrabi also belongs to the cabbage category.
How to prevent it. Everyone pay attention to my little hook,
which is a shelf for fixing the steel mesh.
After transplanting, steel frame, and then cast insect screen
to prevent oviposition
butterfly Pieris generated. From now look to see if
this Pieris prevention or effective.
That as long as the grasp these two points, is to choose the right varieties
planted most right time, that Kohlrabi growing success.
I hope that after
this time from two weeks to three weeks kohlrabi size can also
add at least one-third. Grow
to about the size of
15 cm to 20 cm in diameter, it can be a weight to as much as
about one pound would be ideal. After cooling the taste of it
will be very good. How to eat it?
This kohlrabi, then peeled after
eating soup Ye Hao, Ye Hao to eat salad, or even eaten raw
are all great. Thank you for watching.
I wish everyone a healthy and happy planting.
