Yellow with white flesh, we are huge fans of this forgotten giant heirloom that looks rather like Harry Potter’s mandrakes! Once known as the ‘scarcity root’ for its abundance when there is little other food around. Halfway between sugar beet and beetroot this easy to grow root is sweeter and less earthy than a beetroot and will sit for a long time in the field where it will also provide abundant greens.
Average 50 seeds.

Can be sown in module trays from late February or sown direct outdoors from March to August in a sunny position. Germination will usually take 12 to 24 days. When sowing direct plant seed at a depth of 3 cm in shallow drills. Protect young seedlings from birds.
Mangels are hardy and are usually free from pests and diseases. Water regularly in hot, dry weather to prevent the root from becoming tough and woody. Though the roots can become extremely large making them perfect for winning prizes at the village show, they are at their most tender when head size or smaller.
Sowing Months: February – August
Harvest Months: May – November
Position: Full sun
