Description
PLEASE NOTE: This is a seed packet
Ideal for early sowing with excellent bolt-resistance. Even shape with good colour, texture and flavour.
Lift young as ‘baby beets’ or leave to mature.
Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 2.5cm (1″) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1′) between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Thin seedlings to 10cm (4″) apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings made every three weeks should ensure a continuous supply of young beets. Harvested roots can be stored in dry sand for winter use.
Soil Type: Well cultivated, fertile soil
Hints: Do not cut the leaves, but twist them off to prevent the colour ‘bleeding’. Young leaves are also edible and can be cooked like spinach.
