Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to enhance germination.

Sowing:

Timing: Sow seeds in early spring or fall, 2-4 weeks before the last frost for spring planting or 10-12 weeks before the first frost for fall planting.
Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in the soil.
Spacing: Space seeds 1-2 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Temperature: Seeds germinate best at soil temperatures of 50-85°F (10-29°C).
Time: Germination typically occurs within 5-10 days.

Transplanting:

Beetroot seedlings do not transplant well. It's best to sow them directly where they will grow.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Thinning: Thin seedlings to 3-4 inches apart once they reach 2-3 inches tall.
Weeding: Keep the area weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
Harvesting: Harvest beets when they reach 1.5-3 inches in diameter for best flavor. Pull them gently from the soil to avoid damaging the roots.

Gardening is the art that uses Vegetable and plants as plants, and the soil and sky as canvas.
