Organic Beetroot - Bolivar


INSTRUCTIONS:


Sowing
March to July, in well prepared soil in a sunny spot. Sow thinly 13mm deep in drills 30cm apart.

Growing
Thin to 2.5cm for baby beets or to 5 - 7cm for larger roots. Keep well watered during dry spells to avoid bolting (running to seed) or woody roots.

Harvesting
From June to October, from golf ball size, when roots are tender and sweet. Roots from later sowings can be lifted in autumn, leaves twisted off and stored in trays of dry sand or compost in the shed or garage.


ORGANIC GARDENING:

In order to continue the organic life cycle of these seeds, gardeners should follow recognised organic growing methods, avoiding the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides.
