Beetroot - D'Egypte - 100 g - Reliable kitchen garden staple - Fresh Seeds

The D'Egypte beetroot is one of the tastiest and most prolific early varieties, valued by gardeners for its reliability and exceptional flavour. It forms flattened, globe-shaped roots with intensely red, glossy skin and delicate, succulent flesh. Thanks to the harmonious combination of sweetness and deep colour, this beetroot is frequently chosen for direct consumption as well as for preserves or juices. Only about 90 to 100 days pass from sowing to harvest, allowing you to enjoy fresh yields as early as the beginning of summer. This variety offers healthy, clean, and fully natural produce, ready to bring abundant crops to your garden.

Sowing depth

Seeds should be sown at a depth of 2 to 3 cm. This is the optimal value that ensures even emergence and strong development of the root system. Sowing too shallowly may cause the seeds to dry out, while sowing too deeply will delay germination, so it is worth paying attention to the correct depth.

Sowing time for direct sowing

The D'Egypte beetroot is best sown directly into the ground from April to July. Early sowing in April allows you to enjoy young, delicate roots and aromatic leaves that are perfect for soups and salads. In turn, later sowings in June or at the beginning of July produce large beetroots excellent for storage and winter preserves. This is a variety that adapts to weather conditions and tolerates moderate spring chills well.

Spacing

During sowing, maintain a distance of 30 to 40 cm between rows and approximately 5 cm between plants. Such spacing ensures each beetroot has adequate space for growth, guaranteeing even and healthy roots. It is worth thinning the seedlings after emergence, as this simple procedure significantly increases the quality of the yield.

Harvest time

Harvesting takes place from June right through to October. Early harvests provide young, exceptionally delicate beetroots ideal for fresh salads. Beetroots gathered in autumn are larger, have a deep colour, and an intense flavour, making them excellent for juices, pickling, and long storage. This variety is known for its very good durability and resistance to cracking during storage.

Cultivation

You will achieve the best results by sowing beetroots in light, permeable, fertile, and evenly moist soil. Sunny positions are ideal, as the sun gives the flesh of this variety its intense colour and sweetness. Seeds are sown directly into the ground, and after emergence, the plants should be thinned, leaving the strongest seedlings. Sowing in the second year after manuring guarantees particularly abundant crops. The plant tolerates temporary temperature drops well.
