Beetroot


This is the first year I have tried growing beetroot, and it is quite an easy vegetable to grow. I planted from seed, and have found that almost all the seeds will germinate.

In Canberra, beetroot can be planted at all but the coldest months of the year directly into the garden. I planted mine into punnets and transplanted out, as the dogs were trampling the young seedlings.

After starting off quite slow, the beetroot seemed to take off, and I can see the bulbs fattening by the day. Tonight I picked my first four bulbs, and will transplant more seeds into their place.
