Vegetables
Beetroot 'Derwent Globe'
A rich red, globe-shaped root. Flesh is tender and sweet. Ideal summer and winter vegetable.
Position
Full sun.
Sow
Each seed is a cluster of 1-4 true seeds in a corky base. Soak for two hours before sowing to ensure water reaches the seeds. Sowing in seed raisiing trays will allow all seedlings from each cluster to be transplanted later.
Care
Transplant when 3-5cm tall into a sunny, well-drained position. Apply Yates Thrive Soluble Fertiliser occasionally, and keep seedlings well watered. Successive sowing will ensure continuous harvest. Protect from snails with Yates Blitzem.
