It is a Beta vulgaris variety producing smooth, deep red globe shaped roots with a clean, attractive appearance and strong tops that make lifting noticeably easier than varieties with weaker foliage. Action F1 is a versatile variety: it can be harvested young at golf ball size for sweet, tender baby beets, or left to develop into full sized mature roots with the same excellent flavour and smooth skin. For successional sowing and continuous harvests through summer and into autumn, it is one of the most practical and rewarding beetroot varieties available to the home grower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it is good\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe flavour of Action F1 is genuinely outstanding for a beetroot: sweet, mild and deeply coloured in a way that compares very favourably to shop bought roots. The smooth skin and uniform globe shape mean very little waste in the kitchen, and the roots hold their colour well when cooked. At the baby stage, harvested when golf ball sized, they are sweet and tender in a way that larger, more mature roots often are not: perfect roasted whole, pickled or sliced raw into salads. Left to mature fully, they develop into high quality, consistent, deep red roots suitable for all the classic uses. Baby leaves are fully edible and work well in salads, adding a mild earthy sweetness alongside the decorative deep red veining. Quick to mature at six to twelve weeks, it is also one of the faster returning crops you can sow in the kitchen garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAction F1 is straightforward to grow and performs well in a wide range of conditions. It prefers a sunny position in light, well drained, stone free soil that has been raked to a fine tilth before sowing: heavy, compacted or stony ground can cause roots to fork or distort. Avoid ground with freshly added manure as this also causes forking. Beetroot seeds are actually seed clusters, meaning each sowing position can produce multiple seedlings, so thinning to 10cm apart as seedlings develop is important to give roots room to form properly. Sow every two to three weeks from April through to July for a continuous supply rather than a single large glut: this is one of the simplest and most effective growing tricks for beetroot. It also performs well in containers and raised beds as long as depth is sufficient for root development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest and outcome\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHarvest from June through to October, depending on sowing date and how you want to use the roots. Start pulling at golf ball size for baby beets: twist the tops off rather than cutting to prevent the roots bleeding juice. For full sized mature roots, leave in the ground until required, checking that roots are not becoming woody. Roots can be stored in boxes of slightly damp sand in a cool, frost free place for several weeks after harvest. Baby leaves can be picked from young plants and used fresh in salads. The vibrant deep red colour of Action F1 is retained well in roasting and pickling, making it a visually appealing crop at the table as well as in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAction F1 is an excellent choice for any grower who wants a dependable, high flavour beetroot without any fuss. It suits allotment growers who want a productive, low maintenance root crop across the full summer season, and kitchen gardeners who value something that earns its space from early summer right through to autumn. The compact growing habit and good container performance make it particularly well suited to smaller plots, raised beds and patio growing.

It belongs to the Phaseolus coccineus species and is a full climbing variety, reaching up to 3 metres tall. What sets St George apart is its exceptional combination of ornamental and practical qualities: the flowers are a genuinely striking red and white bicolour, making it one of the most attractive runner beans you can grow, while the pods themselves are long, smooth, pale green and produced in clusters that make picking considerably easier than many other varieties. It is an improved variety, producing crops earlier and of superior quality compared to the older bicoloured variety Painted Lady, which it has largely superseded in serious kitchen gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it is good\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSt George is both early and prolific, which is exactly what you want from a runner bean. Beans set well even in variable British summers, forming in clusters rather than scattered individually along the plant, which speeds up harvesting considerably once the season gets going. The pods are long, reaching around 25 to 30cm, with a satisfying snap and a good clean flavour when picked young and tender. Because they form in clusters and the plants crop heavily over a long period, you get a sustained harvest through summer and into autumn rather than a short glut. Surplus pods freeze exceptionally well, making it straightforward to preserve the harvest for later in the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSt George is a climbing variety and needs robust support: a double row of 2.5 metre canes in an A-frame arrangement, a wigwam structure or strong netting all work well. It performs best in a sunny, sheltered position in well drained, fertile soil with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost worked in before planting. Like all runner beans it is frost tender, so seeds sown indoors in April or May need hardening off carefully before going outside, and outdoor sowing should wait until all frost risk has passed. Once established the plants grow strongly and quickly, and regular watering at the base of the plants, particularly as the flowers develop, is important for good pod set. Pinching out the growing tips once plants reach the top of their supports will encourage side shoots and extend the productive season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest and outcome\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePick pods from July onwards, working regularly through the plants every two to three days. Pods are at their best when young, tender and around 15 to 20cm long: at this stage they will snap cleanly and the beans inside will still be small and pale. Do not let pods reach full maturity on the plant as this signals the plant to stop flowering, which brings the harvest to an end. The cluster forming habit of St George makes it easier to spot and pick pods at the right stage than on many varieties. Regular picking is the single most important thing you can do to keep the plants producing right through into autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSt George suits anyone who wants a high performing, visually attractive runner bean that delivers a serious crop. It is a natural choice for allotment growers who want something that earns its growing space across a long season, and for kitchen gardeners who value both good yields and a plant that looks genuinely beautiful on the plot while it is doing it. The early and prolific cropping habit makes it a good option for anyone who has struggled with pod set in cooler or variable seasons. If you have never grown runner beans before, this is one of the most rewarding varieties to start with.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Fothergill's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52214989390162,"sku":"5011775351995","price":4.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/6260\/9746\/files\/rhs-runner-bean-st-george-seeds-vegetable-seeds-35199-5011775351995-mr-fothergills-shop-now-at-allotmate-essentials-6588258.webp?v=1765552594"}],"url":"https:\/\/allotmate-essentials.com\/collections\/seeds-to-sow-in-july.oembed?page=2","provider":"AllotMate Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
