winner kohlrabi

Longtime customer Brian Cramer of Hutchins Farm in Concord, Mass., convinced CR to grow kohlrabi again for the first time in fifteen years. “Winner,” Cramer said, “has been my most successful kohlrabi for many years, always beating out others I have tried in consistency, quality and appearance.” CR grew Winner in 2012 and it proved to be everything Cramer said. Direct-seeded in late June into a severe drought, irrigated sparingly, thinned belatedly, it even survived his two-week midsummer absence and nevertheless produced its lovely green stem bulb three weeks ahead of White Vienna . Its tender sweet flavor was a revelation. Perhaps you, too, have overlooked this unusual under-rated vegetable, or maybe you were just waiting for us to offer a real Winner? Tested negative for BR and BL.
