This is the second year I have tried growing beetroot but, despite luxurious leafy growth, the roots stay obstinately tiny. I planted them three separate sowings during May - same result. This is now 9th October and they are still ridiculously small, about half an inch across. My garden is in central Perthshire, at 100m/280ft above sea level, but sheltered by a high wall.
Is it just too cool here for beetroot?
