Beet Planting Information:

Beets do not do well in poor soil or clay soil, so prepare the soil by adding compost and manure. They thrive in cooler regions. Plant your seeds outdoors directly in the garden. Planting should occur as soon as the soil can be worked and 1 week after the last frost. Plant in 2 to 3 week intervals for a steady harvest until about 2 months before the first killing frost in the fall. Plants can grow 2" to 12" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires loose, fertile soil that is slightly alkaline in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep the soil uniformly moist and from drying out.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when planting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle-Gro.

Harvest Tips:

Dig or pull roots when 2" or greater. You can harvest beets for greens at any time. Leave fall crop in the ground until needed or when the soil begins to freeze.
