Planting Details
| Row Spacing | 12" |
|---|---|
| Seed Depth | ½" |
| Seed Spacing | 1 seed every 4" |
| Thinning | When 2" tall, thin to 1 every 4" |
| Germination | 5 – 21 days |
| Start Indoors | Not recommended. Root disturbance delays maturity. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 45°F, ideally 60°-85°F, for early summer crop. 6 to 8 weeks before your average first fall frost date for late summer/fall crop. Mild Climates: Sow fall through winter. |
| Growing & Harvesting | For early spring sowings, harvest beets before summer heat. For late summer sowings, harvest before first heavy freeze. For winter sowings in mild climates, harvest in early spring. Harvest when roots are anywhere from 1"-3" in diameter. The smaller they are, the more tender. Greens are most tender when small, so start harvesting when they are 2" tall. You can take as much as one third of a beet plant's outer leaves without harming the root crop. |

- MariaRated 4 out of 5 stars11/10/26Just a suggestion for packaging
I excitedly opened the seed packet of the beet gourmet blend expecting to find three mini packets containing each variety. Nope, they were all mixed together in the large seed packet. I proceeded with a slightly reduced excitement to sow these gourmet varieties pop sting attention to their colors and shapes. All 12 seeds germinated, which keeps my excitement going. I’m wondering if you’d consider a change in packaging for easier I.D. inside your beautifully designed packet.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We're thrilled to hear that all 12 seeds germinated - that's awesome!
Your suggestion about the packaging is really thoughtful, and we can definitely understand why having the varieties separated into individual packets would make it easier to identify and keep track of each one as they grow. That's the kind of constructive feedback that helps us think about how we can improve our products and packaging in the future.
Thanks again for choosing our seeds and for sharing your ideas with us. We hope you enjoy watching your gourmet beets develop!
Keep on growing 🌻
