I planted our beetroot from seed straight into the garden at the end of May 2006

How to grow

Sow the beetroot seed directly into the place where they are to be grown. Beetroot grow best in a deep, loose soil that retains moisture yet is well-drained. Thin the beets as they reach a small edible size.
