Amaze your family and friends with hugest beets ever! These unbelievably enormous beets are no science-fiction mutant GMO. Instead, they're an heirloom crop, also known as "mangel-wurtzels" They're quite tender to eat when they're young, but if you'd like a bit of fun, leave some of them to grow to the epic proportions they're capable of. At this stage of growth, they'd have traditionally been used as animal fodder. The leaves are great as dark-green veg, so nothing goes to waste.

Growing Information
How to Sow
Pre soak the seeds for 2 hours to moisten the hard seed coat. Beets can be started in trays and then transplanted but it is best to sow directly in rows approx 30cm apart. Plant the seeds in a rich soil about 15mm deep and about 10cm apart. Germination should take 1-2 weeks. Each beet seed pod holds about 8 beet seeds and these will need to be thinned out.
How to Harvest
Beet leaves can be harvested at any time. Beets can be harvested once they are about 4cm in diameter. Do not allow the beets to get larger than about 8cm in diameter as they will start to go woody. When harvesting, cut the stems to about 3cm above the beet to prevent the beet from bleeding.
