Planting Beetroot Seeds - Beta vulgaris
Beetroot, also known as Red Beet (latin name - Beta vulgaris) was planted today:
- variety - Boltardy
- rows 30cm apart (wide enough to get the hoe down)
- depth� 2cm
- seeds 2cm apart in the row
� The seedbed was dry because it had been covered to keep the rain off.
�
The corky beetroot ’seed’ in the packet is really a fruit containing several seeds.� So they will need thinning, even though the ’seeds’ have been carefully spaced.
The beetroot seeds were then gently watered in to tighten the soil in the� row.
