- Kristi T.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars11/7/26Will not germinate
I was so looking forward to enjoying home-grown beets this year! However I have tried 4 different times in 3 different places in my raised beds(soaking the seeds first each time) and only one or two will sprout, but quickly die. We are in central Texas so perhaps the first time I started them too early when the weather was still too warm. The next 3 times I've waited till it was cooler, but still no luck!
