When to Plant Seeds

  • Spring Planting: Sow seeds 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost.
  • Fall Planting: Sow seeds 8-10 weeks before the first fall frost.

Preparing the Planting Site

  1. Loosen the soil to at least 12 inches deep.
  2. Remove rocks and debris that may obstruct root growth.
  3. Work in compost or well-rotted manure to improve soil fertility.

Planting Seeds

  1. Sow seeds ½ inch deep, spaced 1-2 inches apart.
  2. Rows should be 12-18 inches apart.
  3. Water gently after planting to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
  4. Seeds will germinate within 5-10 days, depending on soil temperature.

Thinning & Transplanting

  • Once seedlings reach 2-3 inches tall, thin them to 3-4 inches apart.
  • Use scissors to cut unwanted seedlings rather than pulling them to avoid disturbing roots.

Pro Tip

For sweet, tender beets, plant in loose, well-drained soil free of rocks to allow for proper root development. Sow seeds directly in the garden and keep the soil evenly moist to prevent woody or tough roots. Thin seedlings to 3–4 inches apart for larger beets, and don’t throw away the greens—they’re delicious and nutritious!

Bonus: For a continuous harvest, succession plant every 2–3 weeks.

Getting to know your Beet

Beets are a nutrient-rich root vegetable in the Amaranthaceae family, known for their edible roots and leafy greens. They grow best in loose, fertile soil with full sun to partial shade. Beets come in various colors, including red, golden, and striped varieties. The round or cylindrical roots have an earthy, slightly sweet taste, while the greens are packed with vitamins and minerals. Beets thrive in cool weather, making them ideal for spring and fall planting. They require consistent watering to prevent tough or woody roots. Thinning seedlings ensures proper root development. Beets are versatile in culinary uses, from roasting to pickling, and their greens can be sautéed or added to salads.
