How to Plant BEET Seeds
Sow seeds 1-inch apart, thin to 2-inches apart when the plants are about 2 weeks old. The thinnings are edible and nutritious. Roots are at their highest quality when they are between the size of a golf ball and tennis ball. Comments: Beets are at their best during cool weather. In mild summer climates they may be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring and then right through the summer until about 2 months before the first fall frost. In warmer climates they are sown in spring and fall to mature in relatively cool seasons.
