Growing Tips

1. Planting: Directly sow seeds outdoors once the soil has warmed to 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.
2. Thinning: Thin seedlings to 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm) apart once they have emerged to allow ample space for root development.
3. Consistent Watering: Beets require consistent moisture, especially during root formation. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.
4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer before planting and once the seedlings have been thinned. Beets don’t require heavy feeding, but a little additional phosphorus and potassium can promote strong root development.
5. Harvesting: Harvest beets when they reach 2–3 inches in diameter for optimal flavor and texture. You can also harvest them earlier for baby beets, or leave them longer for larger roots.
