Beet Chioggia Pink

Beet Chioggia Pink
Orange-pink on the outside, an appealing 'bullseye' combination of rosy-red and white on the inside, which fades to soft pink when cooked. Sweet, tender and succulent with lustrous dark green leaves and ruby-red stems. Type/hardiness: Vegetable; Cropping in 56 Days
Sowing:
Sow from spring to early summer very thinly in drills 1 inch deep in rows 12 inches apart.
Growing:
When the seedlings are large enough to handle thin them out gradually to 6 inches apart.
Aftercare:
The later thinning will be large enough to use in the salad. Pull the beetroot when the roots are 1½ inches in diameter or larger. The smaller the root the better the quality. In mid fall lift the remaining roots twist off the tops and use or store in a clamp as you would potatoes.
