Beetroot Lutz Green Leaf Red Stem Growing Instructions
Sow seeds in situ in Spring after the last frost when the ground has warmed up and then plant successive sowings to early summer.
For a winter standing crop sow in Mid Jul.
Thinly Sow 1cm deep in rows 30cm apart. Thin seedlings to 12cm apart.
Early sowings can be made indoors / heated greenhouse in modules / trays and planted out at 5cm tall after all risk of frost has passed.
Pre soaking seed in warm water 0.5 1 hour before sowing will speed up germination.
Prior to the first frost and especially in very cold areas, mulch any exposed roots and they will stand deep into winter allowing an extended harvest.
