Boltardy Beetroot


This is the second beetroot variety I planted, the Boltardy Beetroot.  They went in on 12th April, and seedlings had shown themselves by 20th April.  So now three weeks in, and they are starting to grow stronger.

These differ from the other variety I'm growing (the Alto F1 Hybrid beetroot) and these should be small and round.  Reading other sites, it seems i can pick a few when they are small as "baby beets" and then let the others grow on to a larger size.
