Beets - Ruby Queen
A result of quick and steady growth, the best beets are sweet, smooth, tender and have good colour inside.
Hints:

  • Sow seeds 2.5 cm [1"] apart and 1.5 cm [0.5"] deep.
  • Thin to 8-10 cm apart when plants are 8-10 cm tall.
  • To prevent scabs, ensure the soil is rich with humas.
  • For best taste and appearance, harvest when globe varieties are about 8 cm wide.
