Growing[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Beetroot
Sowing[edit | edit source]
Sow thinly in rows 30cm (12in) apart. Cover lightly with 2.5cm (1in) of fine soil. Firm gently and keep moist. For continuous crops, sow every 2-3 weeks.[1]
Aftercare[edit | edit source]
When large enough, thin if necessary, to 7.5cm (3in) apart. Keep moist and weed free.[1]
Harvest[edit | edit source]
June-October when roots are up to 10cm (4in) long. Twist the tops off as this prevents 'bleeding'.[1]
Storing[edit | edit source]
Store roots in sand in a cool frost-free place.
