Aggh! An Alien!! Kohlrabi… the secrets uncovered
Posted on November 27, 2007 by lotty
After going to visit my brother who lives in the savory end of Aldershot, close to all the multi cultured shops near the station, I picked up a Kohlrabi in the hopes that I’d be able to think of something to do with it – and if successful, I will try to grow some next year! (more…)
