   • Plant seeds directly into well-prepared soil.
   • Space seeds 6-8 inches apart and cover them with a thin layer of soil.

3. Germination:

   • Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 60-75°F).

4. Transplanting:

   • Yellow Intermediate Mangel Beet seeds are best sown directly into the garden bed as they do not transplant well due to their taproot system.
   • If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting.

5. Care and Maintenance:

   • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
   • Once seedlings emerge, thin them to allow proper spacing between plants (about 12-18 inches apart).
   • Provide regular water and mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

6. Harvesting:

   • Harvest beets when they reach the desired size for your intended use.
   • For forage purposes, harvest when roots reach 6-8 inches in diameter.
