Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring or Fall: Plant seeds in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Beets can tolerate cool temperatures and grow well in temperatures between 50-75°F (10-24°C).
- Succession Planting: To extend your harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant beet seeds 1 inch deep in well-drained, loose soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds 1-2 inches apart and thin seedlings to 3-4 inches apart once they emerge, allowing for optimal root development.
- Light: Beets prefer full sun, though they can tolerate light shade, particularly in hotter climates.
Watering and Care
- Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and early growth. Beets need regular water to grow tender, flavorful roots.
- Fertilizer: Beets are heavy feeders, so applying compost or a balanced, organic fertilizer before planting will support healthy growth.
- Weeding: Regularly remove weeds around your beet plants to prevent competition for nutrients and water.
- Mulching: Mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, keep the soil cool, and suppress weeds.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Early Wonder beets are typically ready for harvest in 50-55 days. Harvest when the roots are about 1.5-2.5 inches in diameter for the best flavor and tenderness.
- How to Harvest: Gently pull or dig up the beets, being careful not to damage the roots.
- Beet Greens: The greens can be harvested as soon as they’re large enough. Harvesting leaves regularly will promote new growth.
