Root Vegetable Plants
Root vegetables - carrots, turnips, beetroot and more - are a veg plot staple, and ours are selected for the best taste and productivity all year round. Your root vegetable plants start life on a family run Lancashire farm, with varieties chosen for taste and performance, and grown sustainably using recycled water and biological pest control. Delivered to you straight from the field, they’re strong, vigorous and ready for anything the UK weather can throw at them.
Which root vegetables should I choose?
Although most often grown in rows in open ground, there are plenty of root vegetables that thrive in containers, including snack-sized Chantenay carrots. If you’re just starting your patch, we recommend easier varieties like Darko beetroot and Snowball turnips - they don’t take up a lot of space, either. Swedes and turnips are relatively straightforward, as long as they have a good fertile, free draining soil. Growing your own is also a good opportunity to experiment with less common varieties, like these colourful carrots and multicoloured beetroots.
Growers' tips
Root vegetables are a staple crop in the UK, mainly due to their hardiness and ability to stand in the ground through the winter - parsnips even taste better for a little frost exposure. One of the best things about them is that you can plant them all year round - in spring for a late summer harvest or in autumn for a crop in spring. They prefer full sun but will do just fine with a bit of light shade, and don’t need feeding if your soil is halfway decent. Oh, and the secret to successful carrot growing is all in the soil too - a mixture of half soil and half sand makes for the best crop.
Using your root veg
As well as being an essential part of a roast dinner, root vegetables are lovely in any number of roasted veg traybakes, warming winter casseroles and sweet, earthy soups. Grate or spiralise your roots raw for salads and slaws or make a vibrant purple beetroot hummus (beets and carrots are also great in juices and smoothies).
