Growing Tips
- Planting: Directly sow seeds outdoors when the soil temperature reaches at least 50°F (10°C). Plant seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep, spacing them 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) apart in rows 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm) apart once they have emerged to allow enough space for healthy root development.
- Consistent Watering: Beets require consistent moisture to grow properly, particularly during root formation. Keep the soil moist, but avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
- Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer before planting and again after thinning to encourage strong root growth. Beets generally don’t require heavy nitrogen fertilization.
- Harvesting: Harvest beets when they reach 2–3 inches in diameter for the best flavor and tenderness. Beets can also be harvested early for baby beets, or left longer for larger roots if desired.
