Globe shaped roots, excellent for early and maincrop sowing.

 

 Very reliable and easy to grow variety. Detroit 2 produces deep crimson, globe-shaped roots of excellent sweet flavour. Delicious eaten hot, or raw in salads. 

 

Sow the beetroot seeds thinly, early March-late June, about 2cm apart in rows, and cover with a little soil. Allow about 30cm between the rows. Beetroot can be sown as early as end of January in a frost-free greenhouse.

As the beetroot seedlings develop, thin them to about 10cm apart. Keep soil moist at all times to prevent the roots becoming dry and woody. Tear the top of instead of cutting, and cook the beetroot with the skin and peel it off after cooking, this way you will have mor goodness in the roots.
