Sowing Instructions: Sow from spring to early summer very thinly in drills 3cm (1in) deep in rows 30cm (12in) apart.
Growing Instructions: When the seedlings are large enough to handle thin them out gradually to 10cm (4in) apart. The later thinnings will be large enough to use in a salad. Pull the beetroot when the roots are 1½ in diameter or larger.
Aftercare Instructions: The smaller the root the better the quality. In mid autumn lift the remaining roots twist off the tops and use or store in a clamp as you would potatoes.
