Long tapering roots of slightly rough texture, excellent flavour and good for the show bench. Easy to grow and much more tasty than fresh shop bought beetroot. - Growing Instructions:In spring, make a shallow drill 1cm deep and sow the large, easy-to-handle seeds about 15cm apart. Cover again lightly with soil and water in. Seeds produce multiple seedlings, so thin to leave one plant to mature at each spot. Beetroot can also be grown in containers: sow direct into the compost allowing about five seeds to a 45cm pot.
- Sow: April-June
- Harvest: July onwards
