  • Successional Sow - Beetroot, Turnip, Radish

    Experimenting growing them this year but are these something you would do successional sowing as surely you wouldn't want to be forced to eat in one go in one small period in a year? If yes, how many weeks gap would you give per batch of sowing. But presumably you can't do catching up crop though.

    Some turnips will keep quite well in the ground into the winter. I guess it depends how you want to eat the veg. I am growing beetroot for the first time this year but I want a lot ready at once to pickle and make Hazel's wonderful chutney with. Radishes - depends how many you eat - sow some every week or two and then eat as you want them. The other thing with beetroot and turnip is that you could sow them a little closer than final spacing then eat alternate ones as baby veg and leave the others to grow bigger.
    Happy Gardening,

      Radishes a small row or patch every fortnight. Beetroot stand reasonably well, so maybe once a month, also turnips. If you want baby veg then more often.
