Beetroot growing mistakes are more common than you might think. This is sure to be a relief for anyone who’s been told how easy beets are to grow. And yes, they do have the potential to be versatile, quick-maturing, perfect for small plots and capable of extremely long seasons of growth. If you cultivate and harvest them correctly, they can be enjoyed from the height of summer through to the depths of winter.
However, that doesn’t mean they are trouble-free. They might not be as fussy as brassicas or corn, or as sensitive as asparagus. But they can easily fail if you cut corners, skimp on the basics or kill them with kindness.
