Round, well coloured tender roots with dark red, sweet flesh up to 3-4in across. Ideal for staggered rows over a long season. The leafy tops can also be used as a tasty spinach substitute.

Sow seeds in situ in Spring after the last frost when the ground has warmed up
and then plant successive sowings to early summer.
Thinly Sow 1cm deep in rows 30cm apart.
Thin seedlings to 8cm apart.
