Beetroot Growing Question...

I have an old bottom half of a guinea pig run/cage and wondered if I could grow a few beets in it??

I ask because, when i've seen my dads beet growing, they seem to grow themselves up out of the ground :blink:, only half in/out.

I've got the 'bolthardy' variety if that makes any difference.

That's normal    And very helpful to see when the beetroot is ready for harvesting 

Beets are quite hardy but not as hardy as chard, so if they've sprouted, the fleece would be a good idea just in case your area gets hit harder. If still just seeds, then no need to bother.
