Beetroot Seeds Bettollo F1 300 Seeds

Very sweet flavour Round roots with intense red colour Best picked young as baby beets Reliable performer An exceptionally sweet-flavoured beet, Beetroot ‘Bettollo’ is best picked young as baby beets but can also be left to mature. The roots are beautifully shaped, with an intense red colour, and packed with health-giving antioxidants. A reliable perfomer in the vegetable garden, delicious cooked or pickled. Sow outdoors 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. Thinning Thin out to 10cm (4in), or 5cm (2in) for baby beets. Use thinnings in baby leaf salads. Use fleece to protect crop from frost or cold wind. Twist off the tops to prevent “bleeding”. Beetroot can be lifted and stored in sand; ensure they are kept frost free.
