Gardener’s Tip

Sow seeds from February to June in well-prepared, fertile soil in a sunny position. Beetroot grows best in loose soil that allows the roots to develop evenly without becoming misshapen.

Thin seedlings once they appear to give each plant enough space to develop strong roots. Harvest while roots are young and tender for the best flavour, and remember that the leafy tops can also be used like spinach in the kitchen.
