Where Can You Grow Beetroot?

Beetroot is a flexible crop that adapts well to Australian gardens. Sow seeds directly in open ground, raised beds, or deep containers. Most varieties thrive in cooler months, with sowing running from winter into spring in temperate regions—and even year-round planting possible in warmer zones :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
