One of the first steps you take when you are figuring out your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

By using the USDA zone info for Zone 13a it's possible to estimate when it's the best time to plant kohlrabi.

Planting Calendar for Kohlrabi

Frost tolerance for kohlrabi:	Tolerant of some frost.
When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

Kohlrabi tend to make it in moderate cold which tells us that you can plant them a little earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

The earliest that you can plant kohlrabi in Zone 13a is January. However, you really should wait until February if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant kohlrabi and expect a good harvest is probably November. Any later than that and your kohlrabi may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your kohlrabi indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

In Zone 13a it never frosts. You should expect an average low temperature of 60°F in the coldest months of winter.

It's important to remember that the actual date of last frost is not always accurate because it is based on the USDA zone info for Zone 13a and it changes from year to year. Since it never frosts in Zone 13a you do not have to be ready to cover your kohlrabi in the event of a late frost.
