About this Promotion

Smooth-skinned roots of fine colour, ideal for exhibition. Resistant to bolting and highly recommended! You don't have to have a large vegetable garden to grow your own. Even the smallest patio or balcony can accommodate a few containers that will give you a bumper crop of delicious fresh produce!

On Receipt - Remove the plants from the packaging immediately upon receipt. Check the compost is moist and water if necessary. All the vegetable plants can be planted immediately into a moist soil in the garden, provided conditions are suitable. Once planted water well to settle the soil around the plants. Soil Preparation - Vegetable plants require a well drained soil in a sunny position that has ideally been dug in the autumn. Prior to planting lightly fork over the area removing any weeds that have grown, and break down any large lumps. Apply a general fertiliser such as Growmore and rake into the surface. During the growing period keep the plants well watered in dry spells and keep weeds under control. BEETROOT - If the plugs contain more than one seedling gently tease apart avoiding damage to the roots. Space the plants 10cm (4") apart in the row and 30cm (12") between rows. When harvesting twist off the foliage 5cm (2") above the root to prevent it bleeding.
