Easy = shit
I’m suspicious of these beetroot. They’re yellow cylindrical ones, and they’re growing far, far too well.
Compare with the bog-standard Bolthardy to the left, which were sown on the same day: The yellows are twice the size, maybe more.
You know, of course, what this means?
Yup: They’ll taste vile. Anything easy ALWAYS tastes vile.
You make me laugh Soilman 🙂

Hi, Sunshine. “It’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood…” Oh, maybe that’s one of those cultural refs that never jumped the pond.

Nope, that doesn’t ring any bells here, AH….

May I ask Soilman, when did you sow those? Mine are looking really pathetic in comparison and that’s just the ones that came up.

Got to be honest, Rachael: I don’t remember. But it would have been late April or early May – it was too cold here to sow anything before the end of April. I wouldn’t panic if yours are a bit slow. I had to sow my early carrots THREE times before any germinated, and they’re all still absolutely tiny. Useless. It’s just been so bloody cold this year.

Looks more like a salad leaf then a beetroot…let us know what is underneath once they are harvested!!

or perhaps, it’s not meant for humans?

That is a nagging worry, Svetla. These beets may be animal fodder, not human….

Hmmm that can be the case, anything not red is not good in beetroot in my opinion, I grew Chioggia, the stripy Italian one, and well it wasn’t really edible. My boltardy so small too, just doesn’t want to grow this year…
