Baby Beets are sweet and delightfully tender. Harvest when young and dainty to enjoy them at their best. Roast slowly and simply to bring out their full sweetness, with just a kiss of butter. Perfect for crudités, pickling, and delicious fresh salads. A great variety for smaller gardens.
Each "seed" is a cluster of 1-4 true seeds in a corky outer coating. Soak for two hours before sowing to ensure water penetrates to seeds. Sow direct where they are to grow or in trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. When 3-5cm tall, separate clustered seedlings and transplant.
Grow in a Sunny well-drained position. Apply Yates Thrive Fish Blood & Bone Liquid Plant Food regularly, and keep seedlings well watered. Make successive sowings every few weeks. Protect from snails and slugs.
Great companion plant for Beans, broccoli, lettuce, onions, potatoes and peas. Pick young leaves and add to salad mixes.
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
