Root vegetable seeds for the kitchen garden

Root vegetables are some of the most rewarding crops to grow from seed — sown straight into the ground and left to swell underground until you are ready to harvest. The group runs from sweet carrots and earthy beetroot to peppery radishes and hearty parsnips, with many storing well into winter.

New to growing veg? Our guide covers sowing direct, soil and harvesting roots.

How to grow root vegetables

Most roots dislike being moved, so sow them direct where they are to grow. They do best in light, stone-free soil that lets them swell freely — work in compost, but avoid fresh manure, which can make roots fork. Sow little and often for a steady supply.

Roots for every season

Quick radishes are ready in weeks; carrots, beetroot and turnips fill the main season; and parsnips and swede stand through winter for hearty cooking. Browse the full range of vegetable seeds for more.

Start with the two that anchor any veg patch — sweet roots for the kitchen and earthy colour for the plate.

Popular root vegetables

Carrot · Beetroot · Radish · Turnip · Parsnip · Swede · Black Radish · Celeriac

All vegetable seeds ship from Meppel, NL with fast EU delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I sow roots direct or transplant?
Sow root vegetables direct where they are to grow — they resent being moved, which can stunt or fork the roots.
What soil do root vegetables need?
Light, stone-free soil enriched with compost; avoid fresh manure, which encourages forked and hairy roots.
Why do my carrots fork?
Usually stony or freshly manured soil, or transplanting — sow direct into fine, well-dug soil for straight roots.
Which roots store best?
Carrots, beetroot, parsnips and swede all store for months in a cool, dark place once lifted.
Do you ship across the EU?
Yes, orders ship from Meppel in the Netherlands with fast EU delivery, and the final shipping cost is shown at checkout.
