What you need to know:

- Outdoors Sowing Guide: Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 2.5cm (1") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Thin seedlings to 10cm (4") apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings made every three weeks should ensure a continuous supply of young beets. Harvested roots can be stored in dry sand for winter use.

- Hints & Tips: Do not cut the leaves, but twist them off to prevent the colour 'bleeding'. Young leaves are also edible and can be cooked like spinach.
