Features: Very good flavour, cylindrical roots with few rings.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: 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 & Tips: Twist the leaves off to prevent the colour 'bleeding'. Harvest alternate beets from 5cm (2") diameter, leaving others space to develop.
