Beschreibung

Beet grows rather quickly compared to other root vegetables and is quite easy to grow. It is a goosefoot plant and closely related to chard. The whole plant can be eaten raw or cooked.

Anbautipps

Suitable for direct sowing from the end of April, protect from frost to prevent bolting. Pre-planting is possible from the end of March (not necessary) in order to have the bed area available for other plants until planting out in June. Beet has a medium or even water requirement, prefers sunny (to semi-shady) locations and a loose, humus-rich, rather sandy soil. Harvest as soon as spots form on the leaves or before the first frost. Development period 3-4 months. Without the cabbage, they can be stored wrapped in sand for a few weeks. It is important to maintain a cultivation break of 4 years with other goosefoot plants.
