Growing Tips for Organic Purple Vienna Kohlrabi Seeds:

1. Planting: Sow seeds directly in the garden or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 6-8 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart.
2. Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter for optimal growth.
3. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, to maintain bulb tenderness.
4. Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, particularly in warmer climates. Full sun will promote the best growth and flavor.
5. Temperature: Best grown in cooler temperatures, ideally between 60-75°F. Can tolerate light frost, which enhances the sweetness of the bulbs.
6. Thinning and Spacing: Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart when they are about 2 inches tall to allow room for bulb development.
7. Harvesting: Harvest bulbs when they are 2-3 inches in diameter, typically around 55-60 days after planting. Larger bulbs can become woody, so it's best to pick them when they are young and tender.
