Growing notes:

• Plant in a full sun position

• Keeping the soil consistently moist is crucial for successful beetroot growth. However, be mindful not to over water, as this can lead to rot.
• Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the leaves, which can result in fungal issues

• Germinates in 7-14 days
• Matures in 60-70 days
