WR's 2014 Fall Garden

Thanks all. The kohlrabi (along with carrots & a few radish) were used to make 'Kohl-Slaw' which will be our side salad tonight. The broccoli will be steamed. Yummm!

Your slaw makes my soup and sandwich look pretty sad.

It just looks so delicious! I've never tried slaw-ing my kohlrabis. They get into the house, but never get past the knife and salt shaker. It is one treat DH and I would try to keep a secret from each other. Just so yummy!

Steamed broccoli -- THE best of all worlds and healthy, too. I do mine in bamboo steamer baskets.

I have never had a kohlrabi, what do they taste like? @w_r_ranch what time of year do you plant yours? I guess I will have to get some seed and try some.

Yup... that does it @w_r_ranch .... View attachment 5421
I've got to figure out how to move my beloved hilly VA land to somewhere in south cetntral Texas

Cane......central Texas has some beautiful hills. The scenery is beautiful! East Texas is forest and farm land, northeast Texas has some hilly areas, but not like central Texas.

They taste similar to cabbage. They are also great fresh, roasted or fried like hash browns/home fries. They are a very versatile vegetable.

We plant them in the fall garden, which goes in early October.

Pick another broccoli head to accompany our supper tonight. I think tomorrow that I'm going to start harvesting a bunch of them & get them blanched & frozen for later meals as I have a number of them this size. When the 'flowerettes' start getting out of hand, I'll make broccoli soup & freeze it too!!!

I've always wondered what people do with kohlrabi. I have never ever tried it. I don't think I've seen it at the supermarket either. That slaw looks really good.

And that is one picture perfect head of broccoli. Good job!

I never knew Texas was this beautiful. I always thought it was just flat boring landscape.
