Sweet and tender at every stage, hardy throughout the UK and good in dry conitions: the smooth, deep red roots of Red Ace F1 deserve their AGM. The young red veined leaves make a lovely addition to salads while small beets (if you cannot wait for them to grow) can be cooked whole to serve as a hot veg. If you can resist eating this variety it is also good for showing! Price for 50 seeds.
SOW your beetroot seeds 10-20mm deep. Use cloches to warm the soil for early sowings (that is during February to April or a little later in colder areas). Once your soil has started to warm (from April in milder areas) you can sow without protection. Sow seed every 4-6 weeks for a continuous supply of beets
