I planted Kohlrabi seedlings in about June, and now, with the warmer weather, they are all going to flower - and only long tough woody stems. Our garden is on deep sand, with added clay and organic matter.

Hi Wendy - the planting notes say they're ready to harvest in 7 - 10 weeks. That would mean that yours would have been ready in August September. Perhaps you could wait for the flowers to set seed and try again! They've got a long planting season
