BUYERS NOTES

High quality, round, bright red fleshed roots which do not go woody. Beetroot Wodan has wonderful flavour when freshly cooked, either as 'baby' beet or as larger roots. Ideal for pickling. The young leaves can be used as an alternative to spinach. Seeds are in the RHS Vegetable Collection.

Sowing Information:

Sow seeds early April-July. Sow in well prepared, fertile soil 13mm (¬Ωin) deep in broad drills, spacing seeds about 2cm (in) apart. Allow 25cm (10in) between drills.

Growing Information:

For baby roots, no thinning will be necessary. For larger roots, thin seedlings to 5cm (2in). Young leaves and stems can also be used as a spinach alternative.
