Beetroot - Touchstone Gold

£3.00

Beta vulgaris - approximately 200 seeds.

 

These globe-shaped beets are vibrant orange on the outside and golden yellow on the inside. They have a delicious sweet flavour that is not too earthy , great raw in salads but we prefer it roasted when it is particularly tasty.  Touchstone Gold has been our favourite yellow beetroot for a few years now. It is quite difficult to get a hold of in the UK so we are really pleased to now have it available in our catalogue

 

Growing Info

Sow in modules indoors in March/April and transplant 4/5 weeks later for an early crop. Alternatively direct sow outside from April/May onwards.  Sowings made in June/Early July should grow into good storage roots.

Tips: Don't forget, you can eat the leaves too.

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.

Jenna, Orkney
