Nothing to do with earthquake, just beetroot not common here. I tried to ask few suppliers, but result is the same - 0. And i don't think local authorities will allow to import any seeds

Beetroot :cry: just can't buy seeds. At all.

I love beetroot to. If its because you cant get hold of any Vit i will send you some if you like. PM me.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Can you buy beetroot with the leaves on, Vit? Perhaps you could plant some and let it go to seed? You could start up your own seed suppliers.

Sowed my beetroot today and also put in a patch of pak choi. Not sure if these will work but the packet said sow until july so thought why not.

Thank you, guys, but i don't think Japanese custom will allow to import any seeds, at moment i am trying to find'em locally. Just beetroot is not common here, say like goya or okura in europe i guess. Of cause, if i will get some seeds, i will do my own then. Anyway thank you.

I dont like beetroot. sowed lastyear. harvested leaves (big ones) for cooking.
They are not bitter. apparently they go bitter when they bolt and boltardy dont bolt apparently.
Wonderful if cooked like spinach and give the beetroot away to people  :)
