| Seed Spacing | 1 seed every 4" |
| Thinning | When 2" tall, thin to 1 every 4" |
| Germination | 5–21 Days |
| Start Indoors | Not recommended. Root disturbance delays maturity. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 45°F, ideally 60°–85°F, for early summer crop. 6 to 8 weeks before your average first fall frost date for late summer/fall crop. Mild Climates: Sow fall through winter. |
| Growing & Harvesting | For early spring sowings, harvest beets before summer heat. For late summer sowings, harvest before first heavy freeze. For winter sowings in mild climates, harvest in early spring. Harvest when roots are anywhere from 1"–3" in diameter. The smaller they are, the more tender. Greens are most tender when small, so start harvesting when they are 2" tall. You can take as much as one third of a beet plant's outer leaves without harming the root crop. |

I have planted the cool season veggies, kale, beets, spinach, and radish seeds. The seeds germinated well and are growing into big healthy plants, Soon I will start harvesting them. These plants have given me a sense of accomplishment, thank you!
