Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring or Fall: Sow seeds in early spring or late summer, as beets thrive in cooler temperatures. Soil should be between 50-85°F (10-29°C) for optimal growth.
• Succession Planting: To enjoy a continuous harvest, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant beet seeds 1 inch deep in loose, fertile soil. Ensure the soil is well-draining and slightly acidic for the best results.
• Spacing: Space seeds 1-2 inches apart and thin them to 3-4 inches once they’ve sprouted to allow enough room for root development.
• Light: Beets grow best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially when the seeds are germinating and during early growth. Avoid waterlogging, as it can lead to root rot.
• Fertilizer: Use organic compost or a balanced fertilizer before planting to nourish the soil and support robust root growth.
• Weeding: Regularly weed the garden to prevent competition for nutrients and water, especially during the early growth phase.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, maintain a consistent temperature, and suppress weeds.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Beets are typically ready to harvest in 50-60 days, but you can start harvesting early for smaller, tender roots or wait for a larger crop.
• How to Harvest: Gently pull or dig up the beets when they reach your desired size, usually around 2-3 inches in diameter. Be careful not to damage the roots.
• Top Leaves: Don’t forget about the beet greens! They are edible and nutritious, great for sautéing or adding to salads.

Perfect For

• Fresh Eating: Enjoy fresh, colorful beets in salads, smoothies, or raw with a light dressing.
• Roasting and Baking: Roasted beets are a delicious way to bring out their natural sweetness. Try mixing them with other roasted vegetables for a flavorful dish.

• Juicing: These beets are great for juicing, combining with other fruits and vegetables for a nutrient-packed drink.
