The bulb is a regular sphere with thin, light green skin and a white, juicy interior with a mild, slightly sweet flavour—it is a kohlrabi to eat straight from the bed, without peeling off a thick skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts short growing season makes it an ideal spring variety: sown under cover in March, it produces a harvest as early as May and June. It can also be sown in several batches every 2–3 weeks until July, providing young, crunchy kohlrabi throughout the summer. It is suitable for short-term storage—in the refrigerator, it retains its firmness for about two weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (March under cover, April in the seedbed):\u003c\/strong\u003e sow the seeds in trays or plug trays about 1 cm deep, at a temperature of 15–18°C. Germination takes 4–7 days. After germination, grow the seedlings in cool conditions (12–16°C) and in full light—high temperatures and darkness produce leggy seedlings, which are then more prone to bolting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e prick out seedlings from trays at the cotyledon or first true-leaf stage into 5–6 cm pots. In plug trays, leave one plant per cell. Harden off for one week before planting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (April–May):\u003c\/strong\u003e plant out seedlings at the 3–4 leaf stage, shallowly and at the same depth as in the pot, with spacing of 20–30 × 20–30 cm. It is worth covering early plantings with horticultural fleece—it protects against the cold and advances the harvest by one or two weeks. The soil should be fertile, humus-rich and moist, with a pH of 6.5–7.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e even watering is the most important task—kohlrabi that dries out and is then watered heavily will split. Weed shallowly; do not earth up. Harvest young, when the bulbs are 6–8 cm in diameter; overgrown bulbs lose their crispness. After harvesting, the bed is free for warm-season vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelikatess Weisser is primarily a kohlrabi for eating \u003cstrong\u003eraw\u003c\/strong\u003e—in slices with a little salt, in slaws, or as a crunchy addition to sandwiches and salads. It is also excellent \u003cstrong\u003ecooked\u003c\/strong\u003e by steaming, in soups, braised in cream and \u003cstrong\u003estuffed\u003c\/strong\u003e. Young leaves can be braised like spinach. Thanks to its low requirements and short growing season, it is one of the best vegetables \u003cstrong\u003efor a catch crop\u003c\/strong\u003e and for growing in raised planters or \u003cstrong\u003elarge pots on a balcony\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGardener’s tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f5f3ee; border-left: 4px solid #656B39; padding: 12px 16px; margin: 1em 0;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eBolting is the most common problem with early kohlrabi—it is caused by prolonged cold below 10°C when the plant already has several leaves. Therefore, do not plant seedlings out in an unprotected bed too early: wait until the soil has warmed up, or cover the plants with horticultural fleece. Hardened-off seedlings that have not been exposed to freezing temperatures will produce regular, round bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eLatin name\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eBrassica oleracea var. gongylodes\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eVariety\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eDelikatess Weisser (Delikatess Witte)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eBulb colour\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003epale greenish-white, white flesh\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003ePosition\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003esunny, fertile and moist soil\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSeasonality\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eannual plant (grown as an annual)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSowing time\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eMarch (under cover), April (in the seedbed)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003ePlanting-out time\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eApril–May\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eHarvest time\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eMay–July (5–6 weeks after planting out)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSpacing\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e20–30 × 20–30 cm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e2.00 g (~600 seeds)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eTraditional\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eW.
