Description
The 'Pablo' Beetroot is almost a miniature variety, ideal for pickles. Small and cute, with its very dark cherry tomato-like silhouette, it can be proudly presented as an appetizer during summer aperitifs if picked early.
This pretty round and small-sized beet pairs very well with radishes and other raw vegetables. If picked later, its size approaches the average. Its skin and flesh, both uniformly dark red, are slightly sweet. Like radishes and cherry tomatoes, this variety can easily be grown in a container on a balcony.
The dark green, veined leaves will add colour and can be deliciously prepared as mesclun or cooked in spinach. Prefer the young shoots when thinning, as they will be more tender. The yield of this beet usually reaches around 3 kg per square metre when harvested when ripe.
Beetroots are biennial root vegetables. The first year is devoted to the accumulation of nutrients in the root. In the second year, the plant draws from this reserve to produce flowering and seed production. The edible root is harvested in the first year, but if you want it to go to seed, you must reserve some plants and wait until the following year. Sometimes called red carrot or red root, beetroot varieties differ in their colour: there are red, white, yellow, orange, or pink varieties, as well as their shapes, such as cylindrical, spherical, or oval, and their carbohydrate content.
They can be classified into three main categories:
- vegetable beetroots are usually planted in gardens,
- sugar beetroots are grown in open fields to extract sugar,
- and finally, fodder beetroots intended for livestock but also delicious in human diets.
Beetroot is not only a carbohydrate-rich food, but it is also known for its high content of vitamins and minerals, especially potassium.
Storage: once the beetroots are harvested, they should dry out entirely on the ground for a full day. Keeping them in a cool and dark place such as a cellar or pantry is advisable to store them throughout the winter. You can bury them under a layer of dry sand to optimise storage and preserve their taste qualities.
Gardening tip: beetroots should be planted in full sun and cool soil. To maintain these two conditions, consider mulching around the plants.

Planting and care
For early cultivation: sow in trays from late February to April. The seeds are assembled in glomerules so that several plants will emerge. Transplanting is usually done when the first sowings occur in the ground, usually in April. When the seedlings reach 10 cm (4in) and have five leaves, they should be placed in the open ground, spaced 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10in) apart, selecting the most vigorous ones. This method allows for harvesting from May to July.
For seasonal cultivation: sow directly in the open ground from mid-April to July. Beets like cool and loose soil. Start by loosening the soil with a rake. Add some ash if necessary, as beets require a lot of potash. Then, add well-rotted manure or compost to the furrows. Once the seedlings reach 10 cm (4in) and have five leaves, thin them out, spacing them 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10in) apart. If you choose to have multiple rows of beets, space them 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10in) apart, selecting the most vigorous ones. Harvesting can be done from July to October.
Cultivation: water regularly during hot and dry weather to prevent the roots from lignifying. Beets do not pair well with leeks. However, they can be successfully planted with lettuce, onions, or radishes. Beets are hardy and very resistant to diseases.
Harvesting: in spring, when thinning out the plants, keep the young leaves to be consumed in mixed salads. Otherwise, with planting in April, you will get your first beets as early as July. Harvesting will continue until October for sowings in July.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
