Beets thrive in sandy loam with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5.

Planting: For a continuous harvest, sow seeds 1.2 cm deep and 2.5 cm apart in two-week intervals, beginning when the soil has warmed to 7°C. Avoid sowing after mid-July.

Care: As each beet ‘seed’ is actually a corky fruit with 2 to 5 seeds within, it is important to thin the young seedlings to 7–10 cm apart to allow for proper root formation. The thinned plants can be used as a source of tender, edible greens. Remember to fertilize. Over-watering or excessive rainfall may lead to excessive leaf growth and small roots. One packet sows approximately 6 m of row.

The Albino Beet is a truly unique addition to any garden. Its most obvious benefit is its pure white flesh, which eliminates the mess and staining associated with traditional beets. This is a game-changer in the kitchen! Beyond its convenience, this beet offers a delicious, super-sweet flavour that is a tasty alternative to red varieties. The bonus of its nutritious and edible greens makes it an incredibly efficient and rewarding plant to grow.
