How To Grow
GROWER TIP: You can try soaking beetroot seeds in warm water for a few hours before planting to soften their hard coats and encourage quicker germination. As a cool-weather crop, start them indoors in early spring or late summer in well-draining soil with temperatures between 50-75°F, or sow directly outdoors when soil is workable, ensuring a sunny spot with partial shade tolerance. To maintain healthy plants, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, thin seedlings to avoid overcrowding, and harvest when roots feel firm and vibrant, pulling them gently from the loosened soil.
