Direct Sowing (Recommended):

• Depth: Plant ½ inch deep in well-prepared soil.
• Spacing:
  • Within Rows: 2-3 inches apart
  • Between Rows: 12-18 inches apart

Germination:

• Typically occurs within 5-10 days under optimal conditions.
• Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during root formation, to prevent woodiness.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer or compost at planting time. Avoid high nitrogen to prevent excessive leafy growth.
• Thinning: Once seedlings reach 3 inches tall, thin to 3-4 inches apart to allow room for root development.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Pest & Disease Management: Watch for leaf miners and aphids. Use row covers or organic pest control methods as needed.

Harvesting & Storage:

• For Baby Beets: Harvest when roots are 1-2 inches in diameter for a tender, mild flavor.
• For Mature Beets: Harvest at 2-4 inches in diameter for full size without becoming tough.
• Storage: Store fresh beets in a cool, dark place or refrigerate for up to a month. Greens can be used fresh like spinach.
