Growing Tips

1. Planting: Start seeds directly outdoors after the last frost when soil temperatures reach around 50°F (10°C). Plant seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep, spacing them 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) apart. Thin to 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm) apart once seedlings emerge.
2. Watering: Beets require consistent moisture for optimal growth. Water deeply and regularly, especially during the germination phase and when the roots are developing.
3. Fertilization: Rhonda benefits from a balanced organic fertilizer or compost. Apply before planting and again when thinning to support strong root growth.
4. Thinning: Thin seedlings early to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to smaller roots.
5. Harvesting: Harvest beets when they reach 2–3 inches (5–7.5 cm) in diameter. You can leave them to grow larger if desired, but they are at their best when young and tender.
