These monogerm varieties are designed to require less thinning, simplifying the growing process for gardeners of all skill levels. Perfect for producing tender and delicious baby beets, they boast exceptional color and flavor while providing an excellent source of folate and a good amount of potassium, making them a nutritious addition to your meals.For best results, sow the seeds thinly outdoors where they are to grow. Plant them 2.5cm deep in finely prepared soil that has been pre-watered, leaving 30cm between rows. Seedlings usually appear within 7-21 days. Thin the young plants to 10cm apart once they have sprouted, and keep the soil well-watered until the plants are well-established. For a continuous supply of fresh, young beets, sow seeds every three weeks. Harvested roots can be stored in dry sand for winter use, ensuring you enjoy their vibrant taste and nutrition all year round.
