How to sow and care for Boltardy Beetroot 

Seeds should be presoaked in warm water for one hour before sowing to accelerate germination. Sow beetroot seeds outdoors between mid-April and late June in a shallow drill 1cm deep. Separate seeds 10cm apart, and space rows 30cm apart. Keep the area clean of weeds and water regularly. Beetroot seeds can be sown indoors from March to July in a weed-free, sunny location in fertile, light, well-drained soil. Beetroot seeds should be sown thinly at a depth of 1 cm and 30 cm apart in shallow drills. Wait patiently for the next step. Thinning out the seedlings within each row to 5 - 7cm apart when they are large enough to handle. 

Water the beets frequently once they germinate. Doing so reduces the risk of the roots becoming woody or splitting. Be careful not to damage the beetroot swelling as you chop around the plants to keep the row weed-free. Germination takes place between 8 and 25 degrees Celsius. Yay! The time has come. When harvesting beetroot, grasp the foliage firmly to meet the root top and pull. Too early is more reasonable than too late when harvesting beetroot. Gather roots that are the size of a cricket ball or smaller and store only those that are not damaged.
