How to Guide

Sow outdoors

March-August: Sow direct into the required harvest position, 2.5cm (1 in) deep. Keep soil moist at all times to prevent roots becoming dry and woody. Thin out to 10cm (4in), or 5cm (2in) for baby beets.

Tips

Use thinnings as baby leaf. Use fleece to protect crop from frost or cold wind. Twist off the tops to prevent ‘bleeding’. Sow a little and often for a long harvest period.
