...want to grow it.
Beetroot is a vegetable that grows in British gardens during the late spring and summer. It has rather attractive leaves, generally green with deep red veins above ground and below ground a globe swells to be pulled up, cooked and eaten. You can buy packets of seeds in lots of places that sell seeds. Garden centres sell them, a lot of supermarkets sell them and a well known D.I.Y. store that sells seeds and plants as well sell them.

Beetroot seeds come in clusters so you will get clusters of plants coming up together so don't sow too thickly or you will have to pull loads out to give them room to swell.

Apart from pickling in tart vinegar or adding to an unhearty broth like dish (i.e. soup), I simply cannot understand how one might utilise such a root (vegetable).
To excite potential purchasers and to tittilate the tastebuds, beetroot picklers across the land market ... ...being sold at the end of the day remains an unpalatably textured, garishly coloured accompaniement to no meal, the dye of which inevitably diffuses itself on all food whch it surrounds.
