Mr Fothergills Beetroot Detroit 2 (Crimson Globe)

Beetroot Detroit 2 Seeds are an easy-to-grow favourite, producing delicious and versatile harvests for the kitchen garden. Harvest young for tender baby beets or allow roots to mature for larger crops packed with flavour and nutrition. Suitable for sunny growing positions, this reliable variety offers consistent results from trusted quality seeds.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 2.5cm deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Thin seedlings to 10cm apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings made every three weeks should ensure a continuous supply of young beets. Harvested roots can be stored in dry sand for winter use. 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.
