Planting Instructions: 
  • Direct sow beets in April to June when soil temperatures have warmed up to at least 10˚C (50˚F).  You can soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing as this will aid in germination, or direct sow at a depth of 5-12mm (¼ - ½”).   String a row and etch a furrow about 5mm (½”) deep with a hoe and sow 15-20 beet seeds per 25cm (12”).   Cover seeds lightly with soil and water lightly, keeping soil moist while seeds are germinating.  Space out rows 35-45cm (14-18”) apart.  When beets are about 5cm (2”) high, thin to one plant every 5- 12cm (2-5”).  Weed as required until beets have the advantage.
  • Soil Conditions:  Well worked, rich, loose, well-drained soil. Ideal pH: 5.5-7.5.
  • Planting Depth:   12mm (½") deep. Space rows 35-45cm (14-18") apart.
  • Germination:  10-15 days.
  • Height at Maturity: Tops are 30-38cm (12-15”) tall.  Spread is about is 25-30cm (10-12”) wide. 
  • Days to Maturity:   60 days for maturity
  • Watering:    Beets require a regular supply of water. At least 2.5cm (1”) of water a week ensures good growth. The amount of rain that falls during the week will help supplement how much you should water your garden.  Soil should remain mildly moist.
  • Sun/Shade:  Full Sun      
  • Spacing after Thinning:  Thin beets when they are 5cm (2”) tall and space out to 5-12cm (2-5”).
Additional Information
For small baby beets plant seeds at a rate of 30 seeds per 30cm (12”).  For full sized beets, plant seeds at a rate of 15 seeds per 30cm (12”) and for storage plant beet seeds at a rate of 10 seeds per 30cm (12”).  Choice greens can be selected and picked for cooking as well when they are young and tender.
