SOWING: Plant outdoors from March through August (weather permitting). Sow seeds 2 to 4 inches apart covering them with 1/2 inch of fine soil.
SPACING: Space rows 12 to 18 inches apart or plant seeds 4 inches apart in all directions in beds.
THINNING: Thin to 4 inches apart when seedlings are a few inches high and enjoy the removed young greens in a salad.
GERMINATION: 2 to 3 weeks in warm weather. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
Ed’s Special Advice: Space sowing times several weeks apart for longer harvest season. Beets prefer light, sandy loam-type soil. Add lime to soil for better flavor and texture. Sow seed in July and August for fall and winter crops.
