Golden Beetroot

[cazp]

I am putting together my seed list and fancy trying golden beetroot. The two types that seem to get a lot of mention are are burpees golden and golden detroit.

Anyone tried these? or have any other suggestions.

I hear golden ones have a low germination rate too - if you can share any experience of this would be interested to know.

thanks

I've had both, and both were fine germination wise for me..

There's a packet of burpees golden (opened) in the virtual seed parcel if you have a packet to swap for it? Check the seed swap forum for more info - be worth a try before you buy if you're not sure?

I have some Golden Detroit. First year for me too.

I love Burpees Golden [and all Yellow Beetroots], but you might find that the germination rate is worse as less people grow it and so it sits on shelves and in storage longer.

Thanks all. I'm going to give it a go!
