Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation:
No specific seed preparation is required beyond ensuring seeds are fresh and undamaged.
Sowing:
Timing : Sow seeds outdoors directly into the garden in early spring after the last frost date has passed.
Depth : Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
Spacing : Thin seedlings to 3-4 inches apart once they have grown to about 2 inches tall.
Germination:
Beetroot seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days when soil temperatures are consistently between 50-85°F (10-29°C).
Transplanting:
Direct sowing is recommended as beetroots do not transplant well due to their taproot system.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering : Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
Thinning : Thin seedlings to prevent overcrowding and promote root development.
Weeding : Keep the area around the plants free from weeds, which can compete for nutrients.
Mulching : Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
