beetroot question?

[simmo116]

hi guys i planted some beetroot some weeks back(boltardy) and there doing well. but one plant is different from the rest,it has no red veins in the leaves or stems like the otheres. what do you think it is? could it be a stray seed in the packet. or is this normal?

This is quite common!

I don't know why but it doesn't seem to affect the end result.

It might be a sign of 'throwback' from some previous breeding programme!

I had a beetroot/chard/leafbeet seed in a sealed packet of parsnips the other day!!  ???
