🌱 Tips for Success

  • Use loose soil so roots can expand freely.
  • Harvest when roots reach 1–2 inches in diameter for best flavor.
  • Don’t discard beet greens — they’re edible and full of nutrients!
  • Thin seedlings early to prevent crowding and ensure good root size.

💧 Watering Tip

Beets like evenly moist soil. Irregular watering can cause cracking or tough roots, so check moisture regularly.

🌼 Fun Fact

Beets were first cultivated for their greens — the root became popular much later as a sweet, earthy food source.
