Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• Indoor Start: If you want an earlier harvest, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost.
• Outdoor Sowing: Direct sow outdoors once the soil temperature reaches at least 50°F (10°C) and after the danger of frost has passed.

Sowing Instructions:

• Spacing: Space seeds about 1-2 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart to give the beets room to develop their roots.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds about ½-1 inch deep and cover lightly with soil.
• Watering: Keep the soil moist during germination and continue to water regularly, but avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Beets need consistent moisture, especially during the root development phase. Ensure soil stays moist but not waterlogged.
• Fertilization: Beets benefit from a balanced fertilizer or compost rich in phosphorus and potassium to promote healthy root growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to more leafy growth at the expense of root development.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to help retain moisture and keep the soil temperature consistent, especially in warmer climates.

Harvesting:

• Harvest Time: 60-90 days after sowing, depending on the growing conditions. Harvest beets when the roots reach the desired size, typically 2-3 inches in diameter.
• Harvesting Method: Gently pull the beets from the soil by grasping the top of the root and carefully lifting it out to avoid breaking the root.

Storage:

• Storage: Beets can be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place for several months. If you plan to store them long-term, remove the greens and leave about an inch of stem attached to the root to preserve freshness.
