kohlrabi is a biennial, meaning it will flower (and produce seeds) in its second growing season. So, if this is the first year you've planted it, you won't see any flowers, or have any seeds. Biennials of course die after the second year, which is why they reproduce and make seeds then. Information about how to overwinter a kohlrabi plant and replant in the next spring can be found here http://www.naturallifemagazine.com/9504/seeds.htm And also info about how to locate and save the seeds after the second year. Good luck.
