Position: full sun or partial shade Soil:tolerates most Rate of growth:average Hardiness: full hardy A wonderful variety from the Venice region. It produces early, large, round red roots with alternate white and red stripes on the inside. It looks really pretty on the plate and has tasty sweet flesh. When cooked it fades to a light pink and the young leaves can be eaten like spinach. This is an easy edible plant that thrives in almost any situation. Growing Instructions: This variety does tend to bolt (go to seed) if sown too early so try to be patient Sow inside - March to June and plant out when seedlings have developed their first true leaves Sow outside - April to June Sow 15cm deep in 2.5cm drills. Space lines 15cm apart. Plant them 15cm apart - it is a little too close, but when grown like this, the roots will push each other apart to produce a clump of small tender beets. Harvest - May to August

Position: full sun or partial shade Soil:tolerates most A classic beetroot, super-reliable and very tolerant of weather extremes, so you can start your crop earlier in the year and finish harvesting later. Produces delicious deep purple, spherical roots which are at their tenderest harvested just larger than a golfball. The leaves can also be picked sparingly as a tasty spinach substitute. Growing Instructions: In spring, make a shallow drill 1cm deep and sow the large, easy-to-handle seeds about 15cm apart. Cover again lightly with soil and water in. Seeds produce multiple seedlings, so thin to leave one plant to mature at each spot. Beetroot can also be grown in containers: sow direct into the compost allowing about five seeds to a 45cm pot. Sow a half-row of seeds every three weeks for a regular supply of roots from early summer well into autumn. Sow: March-July Harvest: Late May to September Approximate quantity: 275 seeds
