Growing tips
Conditions of germination:
- depth of sowing: 1 cm
- optimal temperatures of germination: 18 to 29 ºC
- time for germination: 5 to 10 days
When to sow:
- direct seeding when the soil can be worked in the spring in your area (beets tolerate cold but not heavy frost) until early July for a continuous harvest all season
Seeding technique: in line
- Draw a line in the ground (in a pot or in the ground), then sow the seeds in it.
Distance in the garden:
- between the seeds: 2.5 cm*
- between plants: 5 to 10 cm
- between rows: 30 cm
Height of the plants: 25 cm
Soil: loose, well drained and rich
Exposure: full sun
Days to harvest: 50 to 60 days
Specificities:
- *Thin out after germination when seedlings have 3 true leaves or are 5 cm tall. Transplant or eat the removed plants.
- Beets are at their best when they are at full size (between a golf ball and a tennis ball) or a little younger; if harvested late, they may become fibrous.
- Water beets regularly, as lack of water can cause hardening and deformation of the roots. Mulch at the base of the plants during hot weather to keep the soil cool.
