Which one of you lot...

...gave me these?



I know I didn't buy them

 

Not me ... but a tip for you ...


... don't eat them like that
They are much nicer, and more nutritious, once planted and grown to full size

 

I've sown half a tray of those and half a tray of gloden globe

The ones above are 5 years out of date but giving them a go

 

Oh, that may have been in the ones I gave you

 

Ta I'll keep you posted

 

I like the wording on the seed packet, "New type - Less thinning", does that mean.."Poor Germination"? How else do you achieve less thinning?

Steve...

 

Beetroot seed is a fruit, with each containing several seeds all of which can germinate. Moneta is a variety that has been bred to have only one seed per fruit so called monogerm varieties.

 

Very interesting @NigelJ . I remember the 1st time I ever sowed Beetroot and was flabbergasted at the massive number of seedlings. I didn't think I had sowed that thickly. Your explanation solves the puzzle. Many thanks.

 

GC word of the week goes to Silu, who apparently has previously been...

 

I shall compare the Moneta to the Gloden Globe beetroot as they come up

 

@Zigs you have a subtle way of asking about something Which one of you lot...

 

@shiney I won't like to think in reality terms

 

I knew it was one of you lot and not the other lot, they give me t shirts and amber

 

I *could* tell you ... but Ziggy would make compost out of me if I did
