With a good monsoon, the kharif crop was buoyant and rabi is also expected to do well, going by the meteorological department's forecast of a prolonged winter. |
Prices could start to soften in January as the rabi crop reaches maturity and farmers prepare to harvest. |
Increasingly competitive prices have resulted from the failure of winter or rabi season crops in Pakistan and India earlier in the year. |
The kohl rabi planted a couple of weeks ago 10cm high and developing its characteristic blue leaves. |
Yesterday I put in the kohl rabi and beetroot in 2 small squares, then watered the emerging seedlings. |
Turnips, swedes and kohl rabi are all brassicas, so keep in mind the rotation. |
