Plant Tips

A great variety for beginners. Smooth, tender, sweet flavour. Round roots up to 12cm

After 6 weeks you can begin harvesting leafy greens for salads or blanching. Keep in mind beetroot leaves do have oxalic acid so it is best to cook them.

After approximately 70 days the root will have swelled and you can begin harvesting baby beetroot. If the plants are to close together you can 'thin' them out by harvesting the largest beetroots making room for the smaller ones to grow.

To ensure a continued supply it is best to sow every 4 weeks.
