    Hi docgcat5,

    Great article! You may remember that you convinced me to winter sow Kohlrabi. Well, I took you advise and planted a large container of them -- can't wait to try them. I just checked the container yesterday (2/8/08) -- the kohlrabi has sprouted. The sprouts are about 1/2". Since it's only February, with at least 6 more weeks of winter (although it's been very mild so far), do I need to protect the seedlings or just let "Mother Naturre" do her thing?

    They should be fine, I'd cover if you're going to get real hard freeze, but they are related to cabbage so a little nip of cold shouldn't be a problem. Spring is not that far away! Thanks goodness

    I'm counting the days to Spring ... no real hard freezes in the forecast yet, but it's still February and you never know. Thanks for the information. Let me know if you want any of the seeds, I'd be glad to send you some next year.
