Shop nowBeets and chard are good, easy crops to grow. Beetroot is a wonderfully varied vegetable, with colours ranging from the richest gold to bright red and you’ll find varieties which are bolt resistant & suited to winter storage. Some also provide us with delicious young leaves, which can be steamed and served as a tasty side dish.
Sow straight into the ground in spring once the soil has started to warm up – we recommend sowing in straight lines (drills), in soil that has been lightly forked or raked. If the soil is poor and you’re still working to improve it. . . Show More >

Sow straight into the ground in spring once the soil has started to warm up – we recommend sowing in straight lines (drills), in soil that has been lightly forked or raked. If the soil is poor and you’re still working to improve it, grow these plants in containers or raised beds. Being reasonably quick growing, you can also sow a few crops over the summer, which can be sown between other existing plants or in spaces that aren’t being used. Some more good news is beetroot and chard require very little watering. Pick out small crops as they grow, leaving others to grow larger. Fresh organic beetroot is rich in antioxidants and even said to be a potent aphrodisiac! Chard is a little less raunchy, but it is rich in vitamins and good for the blood.
Why not have some fun too? Mix your chard with petunias and marigolds to make for a spectacular summer display.
