Dyna, organic seeds
Information
Beautiful, purple and tasty. Also a kohlrabi that can grow really big without becoming stringy in the flesh. Purple bottom and green stems, competing in the category of the most beautiful vegetable! Dyna is a unique, old variety that has long been very popular in Europe.Can reach sizes like the popular ‘Superschmelz’ with a little love. The love consists of good, humus-rich soil, just the right amount of fertilizer and quite generous amounts of water.
As well as protection against pests such as cabbage moths and snails.Like all kohlrabi, ‘Dyna’ also offers the nice offer “2 for 1”. The leaves are used like kale and the fancy swollen stem is good to eat raw in a salad, pickled, stewed or roasted in the oven, to name a few cooking methods.
A portion contains about 75 seeds.

Cultivation advice
Sowing
Sow directly and gradually as soon as the soil has warmed up until the beginning of July. Do not allow the soil to dry out.For early harvest: Sow thinly indoors or in a hotbed, about 1cm deep, 4-6 weeks before setting out the plants as planned! The seeds want warmth when germinating, preferably just above 20°C. After sprouting they should be in a light, cool and airy place to avoid lankiness and attacks by root-neck rot but not lower than 14°C for any length of time. Low temperature increases the risk of bolters a lot. Temper the plants gradually before setting them, when the risk of frost is just about over. Most kinds of cabbage can handle a night of light frost. Set out the seedlings a little deeper and tread down the soil preventing the cabbage flies laying their eggs.
Spacing
Keep 35-50 cm between the plants and 40-50 cm between the rows.Harvest
Harvest the kohlrabi when it is 10-20 cm in diameter not larger! Inedible fibres grow just inside the peel if it is allowed to grow to large. Kohlrabi has a more "refined" taste than the swede, but is kept and used in the same way. Its keeping qualities are however a little worse. The smaller leaves of the kohlrabi are tasty too and can be eaten raw or cooked.Seed
200-300 seeds/gram.A portion has about 200 seeds.
