Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Direct sow 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost in spring, or 6 to 8 weeks before the first frost in fall. Beets thrive in 50 to 75°F weather.
• Sunlight: Full sun produces the best root development, though plants tolerate partial shade.
• Soil: Use loose, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Remove rocks and clumps to prevent forked roots.
• Planting: Sow ½ inch deep and 1 to 2 inches apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart.
• Spacing: Thin seedlings to 3 to 4 inches apart once they reach about 2 inches tall.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during germination, but do not let plants sit in waterlogged ground.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting. Avoid excess nitrogen, which favors leaves over roots.
• Harvesting: Pull roots when 1½ to 3 inches in diameter. Harvest young greens as needed without taking too many leaves from any one plant.
