Beetroot grows in almost all climatic conditions, but won't do well when very hot or very cold.
Grow in either full sun or partial shade. Soil should have a little lime added and preferably been manured the previous season.

Climatic Requirements
The carrot is a hardy, cool season crop that can be planted in the garden as soon as the soil can be prepared in the spring. Carrots require relatively large amounts of moisture and are not tolerant of drought. Prolonged hot weather in the later stages of development may not only retard growth but result in an undesirable strong flavor and coarseness in the roots. At the other extreme, prolonged temperatures below 55 degrees F tend to make the roots longer, more slender and paler in color than expected. The best temperature for highest quality roots is between 60 and 70 degrees F.
