Beetroot  Golden is something a bit different from the usual red beet. It features an attractive globe shape with orange-yellow roots that turn golden yellow when cooked. Has a sweet taste, fine texture and tender, even when large. Leaves are light green and can be steamed or used raw in mixed salads.

SOW:  March through June

HARVEST:   July through October

WHERE TO SOW:

For early crop sow February in seed trays, pinching a few seeds into 2cm drills.
Harden off and plant out with 10cm between seedlings. For maincrops sow March through June in 2cm drills, again 10cm apart, and thin out to 1 plant when seedlings reach 3cm. A good tip is to water well during dry/hot weather to avoid root going 'woody' and losing sweet flavour.

History: A Victorian variety of beetroot bred by the old American seed house 'Burpee'.
