Hello Bren

Do you use a lot of newspaper pots? I'm alway paranoid about removing /damaging plants from modules and was thinking about going back to the paper pots.

Thanks Bren, are they shop bought or home design?

I have a small one that was shop bought about 12 years ago, will dust it offSmile

The only thing is I can't remember the last time I saw a newspaper!

I grow them every year to use as salad vegetable. They taste rather like cauliflower stalk, only a bit milder. You can also cut them into sticks and use with your favourite dips, like you might with carrot, celery and so on.

I've tried cooking them but haven't found anything that improves them from raw.

Thanks Martin. Smile
So many people seem to have grown them once and never again. You and TommyToes do, so that's enough for me.

I like kohl rabi grated and mixed into a coleslaw. It adds a different kind of crispiness. The sweetness in the coleslaw is beautiful, and I add horseradish to it and it matches so well. I like it.
I failed them completely last year. I'll bring a packet of seeds with me to the allotment tomorrow and sow some.
