Thank you! I really like that you show the DAYS to certain sizes! Everything from the sprouts, seedlings, baby plants, and ready-to-harvest sizes. I always wonder about that info - but so few videos share it. SUBSCRIBED and clicked the Bell too! (HONEST gardening videos are so appreciated.)

[@YouPlantTube]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing to my channel. I'm thrilled to hear that you found value in the way I presented the growth process of these plants, from sprouts to ready-to-harvest sizes. It's wonderful to know that my efforts to provide honest and informative gardening videos are appreciated. I must say, it's not always easy to capture the entire process in one video, but your feedback makes it all worth it. Thank you again for your support! :)

[@SJ-cc2il]

Really appreciate that you show the whole process from start to finish, so many channels just chuck the seeds in the ground and call it a tutorial 😅

[@YouPlantTube]

Absolutely, totally agree. I would have hundreds of videos without making the effort to go through all the steps, the videos result would be pointless. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@palliaskamen5722]

Thank you for including the date and temperature

[@victormcox]

Thanks for taking the time to help us! Trying Kohlrabi for the first time in zone 7b. Planting in mid September. Hope it's not too late!

[@YouPlantTube]

Good luck!

[@leihsiao1956]

Great video !! I like how you document the whole process including days and temperature, also answer many questions that are important , please make more videos like this !

[@YouPlantTube]

Yes, absolutely

This is a really useful video. I'm growing kohlrabi for the first time and interested to see what to expect at different stages.

[@YouPlantTube]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brownthumbnursery]

Thanks for showing them from start to finish. 👍🏿

[@YouPlantTube]

No problem 👍

Thank you so much for your kindness and expensive time for us to grow vegetables. I ordered today on line, once I received them I will do as you have requested.

[@YouPlantTube]

Wonderful!

[@ipeefreely2364]

I'm starting up some seeds today. Can't wait, my first time planning kohlrabi. I plan on using it for coleslaws.

[@YouPlantTube]

Sounds great!

[@martinschulz9381]

good video. I'm going to try growing it this spring. My mother grew it when I was a kid, and friends and I would eat then like apples.

[@YouPlantTube]

Thank you. Hope you have a good harvest.

[@skatingcanuck9837]

Thank you for posting this video. I love how you filmed the whole process from seed to harvest. Did you have any issues with pests?

[@YouPlantTube]

I had to keep a close eye on them for slugs and snails which love to make holes into them. Thanks for your kind words.

Fantastic video, I’m planning to grow Kohlrabi from seeds first time this year and came across your detailed video. I’m glad, however I would like to know if you used any liquid feed or fertiliser and how often? Thanks

[@YouPlantTube]

No use of liquid feed, occasionally topped up with homemade compost which can be considered as a light fertiliser. Glad it was helpful!

[@convenienceandpracticality9032]

Thx for this video! I'm growing kohlrabi for the 2nd time this summer. The 1st time a rabbit ate every single plant down to its roots a week after I planted them. So sad. Now I have a cage to protect them. Hoping for kohlrabi this yr. They're doing ok in pots but keep getting leaf borers, big time. Any advice to stop them?

[@JillHodge]

Phenomenal video to help out a newbie! This is my first time growing. What straw system do you use to water your plants after you move the seedlings into pots?

[@YouPlantTube]

Thank you. I used a plastic water bottle container and made a whole on the screwing cap big enough to force a flexible plastic hose, by gently squeezing I can regulate the water from the plastic tube. This is ideal as to not disturb the shallow seed that was planted.

[@JillHodge]

Thank you for your response, guidance and sharing your knowledge! What size nursery pots are your white ones that you transferred them to - 4in to 6in?

[@abdullahnaggar]

Good job thanks

Very informative, thanks!

[@YouPlantTube]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nancyqualls7384]

It looks like you planted the seedlings deeper (to where leaves started) each time you transplanted. Is that correct? Does that help encourage stronger roots systems?

[@YouPlantTube]

I planted the seeds at the appropriate depth according to the seed package, and then planted the seedlings deeper to where the leaves would grow, every time that I had changed to a larger container, So yes it does encourage stronger roots system. Good Question.

[@chevyjules2925]

Started mine 21 days ago indoors, they have become very leggy and about 2 1/2 inches tall. They are leaning over. Should I transplant now and if so how high up the stem to plant them? Thank you

[@Dreamgardener747]

Nice video but my only question is why do you need to make saplings in late summer July /early August? You can sow directly.. I am from zone 6b and sowed these seeds in early April and they are growing absolutely gorgeous..

[@YouPlantTube]

Yes, I also can sow seeds directly into the ground again in February/March. When you have a Mediterranean climate this is possible. The location of the seeds planted can be equivalent to a zone 10A

[@houndjog]

Thank you! Just motivated me to start some seeds today. My question is .... why you didn't pick off the larger leaves for a stir fry ...they are delicious!

[@YouPlantTube]

Sure that can be done. Glad to hear I'm motivated you.

[@houndjog]

@@YouPlantTube They haven't sprouted yet .....hoping to see something soon!

[@vinnyonwheels1841]

subbed. thanks.

[@YouPlantTube]

Awesome, thank you!

[@littlebrownP]

Thanks for the video I've never eaten it but I have some seeds growing. Glad you showed they can be transplanted in bigger cups. Mine has been under a grow light for 7 days. I'm try that also. I'm in zone 8a. When will I be ready to harvest? I'm also going to plant in raise bed.

[@YouPlantTube]

That's a difficult question to answer and unfortunately, I have never grown this vegetable in zone 8 using grow lights. The only advice I can really give you is to be patient. Kohlrabi has a growing temperature range check the seed packet to see if you are within tolerance of the temps to figure out how long you have left to grow them.

@@YouPlantTube Thank You 😊

[@thankyouangel9081]

Those plants look so yummy. I tried growing some last year, the leaves came up beautiful, big, but no kohlrabi! Is there some pruning involved? Thanks

[@YouPlantTube]

No, not really, so many factors to take into consideration, temperatures, variety, growing out of season, stress plants for some reason, soil, I could go on.

[@deloresnielsen9864]

I'm in FNQ, Australia. Could you please tell me when I should plant this rop where I live

[@YouPlantTube]

In Far North Queensland, Australia, you can plant kohlrabi seeds during the cooler months of the year, typically from April to August. This timing allows the plants to grow during the milder temperatures of the region. Ensure you choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for optimal growth. Happy planting! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! 🌱😊

[@herlindeclark5488]

Thank you!

[@YouPlantTube]

You're welcome!

[@vinodvishwas5331]

Nice method

[@smallhomegarden1040]

Thank u so much

[@fionaj_artgold4875]

Do you eat the leaves too? I hate waste. Also can you get seeds from the vegetable itself?

[@BradBolton-wq6ub]

You CAN eat the leaves, diced raw to add to salads (like cabbage), cooked by themselves (like greens), or added to soups (like cabbage or kale). Chickens LOVE them!

[@nauthi7691]

Why my kohlrabi not stand up straight is that normal at beginning , thanks

[@minismom09]

I have same concern

[@AliyaAfreen.]

If ur plants are not direct under sunlight then u will have this problem.. place them in a place where u have full sunlight.. i have experienced it and then got succeed after shifting..

[@lovealwaysjasmine]

I overcrowded my kohlrabi and planted it w other greens! Should I try to dig them out and plant them in a different container? They are just starting to germinate

[@YouPlantTube]

I wouldn't disturb the soil if they are starting to germinate, I recommend that you wait at least a month before you start thinning out/ re transplanting any other greens from your kohlrabi plants.

[@lovealwaysjasmine]

@@YouPlantTube ok once the kohlrabi grows a little more how do I transplant it?

[@B3RG3RS0N]

No. Broccoli stems taste like kohlrabi. Since kohlrabi is a proper plant and broccoli stem is just that stem

[@dhritimanhazarika645]

How many days growing

[@snehasinha1]

Nice video.. Will it grow if soil is mixed with sand ?

[@YouPlantTube]

I wouldn't recommend it. Grow kohlrabi in well-drained soil rich in organic matter for best results.

[@snehasinha1]

@@YouPlantTube okay 👍

[@dawndolinski768]

what kind of compost do you use?

[@YouPlantTube]

Home made organic compost.

[@danhughesartist]

That was very helpful! Could you share with me links or information on all the music in your video?

[@YouPlantTube]

I believe there to be three different types of music in this video first is my intro music which is my own creation and the second is "Succotash" from Silent Partner which can be found in KZbin Audio Library the third music is my own creation.

How to extract seeds from kohlrabi

[@chinesetourist1806]

Hi ，Can I grow it about 0 degrees in winter？Thanks

[@YouPlantTube]

Yes, kohlrabi benefits from cooler temperatures.

[@phillipsfamilyhomestead3260]

How do you get it to be so round? Mine are more like ovals

[@YouPlantTube]

Kohlrabi thrives in cooler weather and there are so many other factors to take into consideration could it possibly be that temperatures are higher than normal or even the soil type you are using, might even be their variety, difficult to tell.

[@johnniejukebox]

Space Cabbage!

[@dawndolinski768]

how deep do i need to plant them?

[@YouPlantTube]

Sow kohlrabi seeds ¼ inch (0.5 cm.) deep.

[@nagawanderer649]

Why does it took so long. You planted since August and harvesting in December

[@YouPlantTube]

These plants grow better in colder conditions, the area where I'm situated does not receive the optimal cooler temperatures long enough to have a shorter harvest time. It's October now and it's still too hot for any cool weather crops to grow efficiently.

[@nagawanderer649]

@@YouPlantTube I'm from nagaland and here it's cold enough during winters,and i have planted the seeds only today and I hope I could harvest in December

[@fc4581]

How many kohlrbi do you get per plant?

[@YouPlantTube]

Normally one seed will give you one kohlrabi

[@amyjohnson7604]

Did you harvest on December 14?

[@YouPlantTube]

Yes, At 9:30 of the video I can be seen harvesting.

[@amyjohnson7604]

@@YouPlantTube I saw that. I wasn't sure of the date, though. I don't think you captioned the part where you were pulling them out, but it does look like around the same time that you captioned in the previous clip (December 7).

[@YouPlantTube]

@@amyjohnson7604 To grow this vegetable optimum and as fast as possible from experience it needs at least 2 months of good cool temperatures otherwise it struggles to grow. Unfortunately, the area where I'm situated around the Mediterranean Sea struggles to produce cold temperatures for a sufficient amount of time for this to occur, (which is equivalent to zone 10b) otherwise, it may need 3 to 4 months before it's ready to be harvested. I also checked the video file when it was created at the time period mentioned, yes 14th of December.

[@MrsPlantinTexas]

@@YouPlantTube Thank you! I live in Texas, so we do have some cold temperatures. I do think we have long enough to grow this vegetable. I already see the bulbs forming on my plants.

Where do you live? I'm around the Saint Louis area and my plants still haven't bulbbed. And now it's getting very hot outside. :( This is my first time trying to grow them. Started with 50 and now I only have 10. Turns out birds love the young ones!
