Description
The Yellow Beet is the golden‑yellow sister of the Red Beet and tastes slightly milder and sweeter. It does not stain when cut, so salads and hands stay clean. Varieties such as "Golden" or "Boldor" shine in the garden like little suns.
Care instructions
Sow from April to June directly into the bed; each seed is a cluster with several seedlings, so after emergence you must thin to one plant per spot. Keep the soil evenly moist and harvest from July when the tubers are tennis‑ball sized. The young leaves can be used like Swiss chard.
