Great thanks charles, a song, haha i will have a think – brings to mind aboriginals in australia and their sacred songs and dances for their foods – ‘dance of the bush potato’ for example 
if our culture revered our food as much then… anwyay!
My feb hotbed sowing of Jannis (boltardy 2) , is doing well although germination slightly patchy, and my 7th march sowing is not all up yet, those that are look good, the seed is from last year, Tamar seed
Just done another sowing last root day, may do another next root day before new moon with some new seed to see if it makes a difference
Do you buy new beetroot seed every year?
