Beetroot 'Touchstone Gold'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Touchstone Gold is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips. Touchstone Gold requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.5 - 7.0 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Ensure a distance of 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.74 inches (1.9 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 4°C / 39°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Touchstone Gold about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Touchstone Gold is a half hardy plant.

Expect harvests to start to occur in early summer.
