Sorry its not a pumpkin question but I have been seeing giant beetroot photos and am in love. Where the heck do you get seeds for giant beetroot? A little late for this year. I like to plan ahead! :)

You might like to ask the same question on the european message board. There are some people who grow giants beets there.
Or visit the European site

The ones I'm growing this year came from Brad Wursten via the EGVGA. They are a blast to grow. I have other seeds that were given to me by a reputable grower who got them from Bernard Lavery.

It says long season beet. How long does it take these things to grow?

I start mine inside in March and outside in April. They go till the end of September.

I use a variety I could only find in Holland, though I am sure it is grown under another name in the UK as they have been sighted at a giant veg show a few years ago. We do include these ones in our members' seedpacks in February (EGVGA).

The variety I use has grown me a 51.0 lber. The WR, grown on another variety, is 51.5 lbs.
