Organic Beetroot 'Juwakugel'

Latin: Beta vulgaris L.
Swedish: Rödbeta 'Juwakugel'
English: Beetroot 'Juwakugel'
Producer: Bröderna Nelson, purchased at ICA Maxi 7/6-2011

Planted 8/6-2011 (See scheme for raised bed)
The raised bed contained for the most soil from the EcoCenter (low quality soil), but it was topped with high qualitative soil for vegetable cultivations from Hasselfors (2,5 bags).
Planted a whole row with these guys. Hope they taste good.
15/6-2011: First plant spotted.
