Beetroot
in Fruit & veg
Hello, I grow beetroot every year and make my neighbours quite envious with the fabulous crops I produce. But this year 3 plants have managed to pop their heads up. After a failure with the first packet of seeds, I planted another packet and still nothing. I just can't understand what the problem can be!
Any ideas? Both Bolthardy, of which I have grown before.😣

Sadly, it could also be weedkiller residue in bought in compost.
Last year I didn't compost over winter I think that might be an issue too.
I direct sowed in late March, but covered the bed with my coldframe until late May, only opening it in warmer days in April, so I think this year its been too cold for most plants.
