Beetroot Lutz Green Leaf Red Stem – Growing Instructions
- Sow seeds in situ in Spring after the last frost when the ground has warmed up and then plant successive sowings to early summer.
- For a winter standing crop sow in Mid Jul.
- Thinly Sow 1cm deep in rows 30cm apart. Thin seedlings to 12cm apart.
- Early sowings can be made indoors / heated greenhouse in modules / trays and planted out at 5cm tall after all risk of frost has passed.
- Pre soaking seed in warm water 0.5 – 1 hour before sowing will speed up germination.
- Prior to the first frost and especially in very cold areas, mulch any exposed roots and they will stand deep into winter allowing an extended harvest.
