Root vegetables

Root vegetables are the backbone of a northern kitchen garden: undemanding, cold-tolerant and excellent keepers. The group includes beetroot, radish, parsnip and turnip. Early varieties give a quick fresh harvest, while later ones are suited to winter storage in a cool cellar.

Most root crops are sown directly outdoors in spring once the soil has warmed. They like loose, stone-free soil and even moisture, while fresh manure spoils the shape of the roots. Thin seedlings in time. Order seeds from ALLIKASILM with delivery across Estonia and the EU.
