Description
PLEASE NOTE: This is a seed packet
Easy to thin, monogerm variety. Monogerm types are easy to grow, requiring less thinning.
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.
Hints: Twist the leaves off to prevent the colour ‘bleeding’. Harvest alternate beets from 5cm (2″) diameter, leaving others space to develop.
Soil Type: Well cultivated, fertile soil
