Harvest

Harvest

Unwins Beetroot Taunus F1 Seeds create cylindrical, deep red beets. These can be grown as baby beets and harvested early, or left to mature to full size.

Rich in antioxidants and perfect for roasting, the large tops are also delicious as salad leaves.

Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds thinly, direct into the required harvest position, 2.5cm deep. When large enough to handle, thin out to 10cm apart. Keep soil moist at all times to prevent roots becoming dry and woody.

Advice
Use thinnings in baby leaf salads. Use fleece to protect crop from frost or cold wind. Beetroot can be lifted and stored in sand; ensure they are kept frost-free.

How To Grow

Beetroot is a rewarding crop, producing vibrant roots full of flavour and nutrients. Quick to grow and easy to manage, it provides a steady harvest from summer into autumn. Enjoy it roasted, pickled, fresh in salads, or use the young leaves as a tasty addition to dishes. Beetroot also stores well, so you can enjoy homegrown goodness long after the season ends.


Outdoor Sowing

Sow seeds from spring until mid-summer, thinly in drills. For multigerm seeds, thin seedlings to 10cm apart once large enough. Monogerm seeds produce one seedling each and need no thinning.


Beetroot thrives in fertile soil, so enrich beds with organic matter before sowing. Water regularly in dry spells to reduce bolting. Space rows 30cm apart and sow seeds 3cm deep for best results.


Companion Planting

Companion plants can help boost beetroot growth and deter pests:


  • Lettuce & Spinach – provide shade and retain soil moisture
  • Marigolds – deter aphids and nematodes
  • Onions & Garlic – naturally repel pests
  • Dwarf Beans – fix nitrogen, supporting strong growth


Harvesting

Pick young leaves and thinnings for salads or stir-fries. Roots are nutrient-rich and versatile: cook, pickle, or slice raw for salads and barbecues. Regular picking encourages fresh growth and a longer harvest window.
