Title: Beetroot Seeds
Post by: Susiebelle on January 03, 2012, 18:35:02
I read that Cheltenham Green Top beetroot was very good for storing so I bought seeds last year to try but don't like it so if anyone would like to try them just PM me your address and I will send them to you - don't need anything in return.

I say try them again. Taste and texture can be poor if they are grown in dry conditions, or if they are left too long before harvest. Maybe it was something like that.
I find this variety gorgeous!

Too late, on their way to a new home - that will teach me to be hasty!

You can have em back you know.  I am waiting for my red sprouts that I ordered today so you could try a few and compare notes.  Will try to get my stuff off in the next week or so.
