Planting Guide
Beet Instructions
Hardiness Zones & Climate
USDA Zones 2-11. Beets are a versatile cool-season crop. In Northern zones, they are grown from spring through fall. In milder Southern climates (Zones 8-11), they excel as a winter crop.
Sowing Strategy
Direct Seed: Begin early sowings when soil warms to 45°F (7°C). Sow 15 seeds/ft., 1/2" deep. Thin to 1 plant per 3". Sow at 2-week intervals for continuous supply.
Transplanting: Sow indoors 5-6 weeks before setting out. Transplanting can yield earlier harvests in poor weather but roots may be less uniform than direct seeding.
Temperatures
Optimum Germination: Peaks steadily near 86°F (30°C).
Plant Spacing
Space plants 3" apart in rows that are 12–18" apart.
Culture & Environment
First-rate crops grow quickly in light or loamy soils with a pH over 6.0. Cool temperatures produce the best flesh color.
Note on Zoning: Acute weather fluctuations will cause "zoning" (white rings) to form in the roots.
Disease Prevention
Scab: Keep well-irrigated to prevent raised brown rough spots.
Internal Browning: Usually caused by a boron deficiency in alkaline soils after prolonged hot, dry periods.
Leaf Spot: Rotate crops to prevent Cercospora leaf spot (vital for bunching/baby-leaf beets).
Harvest & Storage
Fresh Market: Wash and store bunches up to 10 days at 32°F (0°C) and 95% humidity.
Winter Storage: Cut tops, wash, and store roots up to 6 months under the same conditions.
