Kohlrabi is a hardy, annual vegetable that is primarily consumed in European countries, although it has also become a vegetable staple in northern India. It is actually a cultivar of cabbage and was specifically bred as a hardier version of cruciferous vegetables, which often can’t grow in harsh conditions.

However, kohlrabi can be eaten raw or cooked and has been a staple of German cuisine for hundreds of years. You can use the kohlrabi root as well as the leaves in your diet, as they both have significant amounts of nutrients.

Cucumbers are scientifically known as Cucumis sativus and belong to the same botanical family as melons (including watermelon and cantaloupe) and squashes (including summer squash, winter squash, zucchini and pumpkin). Commercial production of cucumbers is usually divided into two types. “Slicing cucumbers” are produced for fresh consumption. “Pickling cucumbers” are produced for eventual processing into pickles. Slicing cucumbers are usually larger and have thicker skins, while pickling cucumbers are usually smaller and have thinner skins.

Garlic comes from the mountainous regions of Central Asia and has adapted to extreme changes in temperature, including very cold nights. As a result, garlic performs best when subjected to a cold period of one or two months. Ground temperatures of between 0 — 10º celsius encourages optimum clove formation, making it very suited to our Irish climate and Autumn planting often produces better crops than garlic sown in Spring. Garlic enjoys a long growing season, so if planted in October up to early December, the harvest usually occurs in July/August and the bulbs are much bigger.
