What Are Pelleted Seeds?

Pelleted seeds are coated with an easy-to-handle material that creates a more uniform shape and makes individual seeds easier to see and space. Keep pelleted seeds evenly moist during germination so the coating can break down properly. Learn more about pelleted seeds.

Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Direct sow in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Beets prefer cool conditions and can struggle during extended heat.
• Sunlight: Plant in full sun to partial shade, with at least 6 hours of light each day.
• Soil: Choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil free of stones and hard clumps so roots can develop smoothly.
• Planting Depth: Sow pelleted seeds approximately ½ inch deep. Keep the seedbed consistently moist while the coating softens and seedlings emerge.
• Spacing: Space seeds according to the selected size and thin developing seedlings as needed to allow roots room to size up.
• Succession Planting: Sow small batches at intervals during the cool season for a steady harvest.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist. Inconsistent moisture can contribute to splitting, woody roots, or uneven growth.
• Fertilizing: Mix compost into the soil before planting and avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leaves over roots.
• Harvesting: Harvest roots when they reach the size you prefer. Pick young greens separately and remove roots promptly for the best tenderness.
