Beetroot seeds

Just found a packet of Boltardy Beetroot seeds in the drawer.
Our earlier crop were really good.
Is it too late to sow a few more - will they come to anything?

I think they take about 13 weeks so that will be nearly end of November you will be gambling on the weather, It would be a risk up to you ,where are you Newcastle when do you get your first frost

 

Amateur Gardening magazine dated this Friday 20/8/11 suggests they are sowing these this week along with..

Lettuce,
Spring Cabbage,
Spinach,
Turnip,
Swiss Chard,
Broccoli

I'd say go for it, at best you'll have some beets, at worst you can use the beetroot leaves in a salad.

Steve...

 

I'd go for it too. Sowed some in January, they are now bigger than the known universe and are starting to grow into another dimension.

 

Thanks for replies.

I will have a go

 

We had a nice shower of rain this afternoon so I thought it was the right time to plant a small patch of beetroot seeds.

Watch this space. . . . . . . . .

(why do I get some words printed in red and underlined - e.g. plant and shower?? ooops! now they have gone)

 

The underlined words are the spell checker telling you that its wrongly spelt

However somebody needs to check the spell checker

 

Don't think 'plant' or 'shower' were wrong Pam

 

That`s what I meant ,It highlights words you know are correct
