Bolt resistant early favourite
Ideal for early sowing with excellent bolt-resistance. Even shape with good colour, texture and flavour. Multigerm variety.
A Best Buy variety as recommended by the Gardening Press and Consumer Groups.
Beetroot
For the earliest crops sow bolt-resistant varieties under cloches from mid-March, otherwise from April.
Recommended by Rachel de Thame in BBC Gardeners World Magazine (January 2015 edition): “A real favourite with gardeners. As the name suggests, it’s bolt-resistant so you can sow it from early in the season until late. Has a sweet flavour.”
Also recommended by Charles Dowding, Matt Biggs, Jane Bingham, Rosie Yeoman, Terry Walton and Mike Thurlow

June, July, August, September, October
Outdoors: Sow thinly, March-July, where they are to crop, 2.5cm (1") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-cultivated, fertile 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. Harvest: June-October.
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.
Harvested roots can be stored in dry sand for winter use.
Multigerm - Will most likely produce clusters of seedlings.
Monogerm - Producing only 1 or 2 seedlings per 'cluster', so little to no thinning is required.
