I just wanted to say that, because for the first time ever my beetroot are big, juicy and multitudinous.

I'm wondering if its due to all the rabbit droppings I dug into that bed after 'dispatching' the damned rabbit that ruined my plot last year. It had left tons of poo all over the bed. That and planting later (early June).

Justice!

Well I'm not going to beet around the bush, mine are growing away quite nicely, I had some baby ones when thinning out and now have some nice sized ones and the ones in a small trough in the back garden are coming along too.    ;D ;D ;D
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.

I have not even harvested any yet! They are just tiny from the lack of rain :(
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
