Growing Tips

1. Timing: Sow Detroit Dark Red Beet seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Beets can tolerate light frost.

2. Soil Preparation: Ensure well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure.

3. Planting: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep, spaced 1-2 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 3-4 inches apart once they reach about 2 inches in height.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and early growth. Beets need about 1 inch of water per week.

5. Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

6. Harvesting: Harvest beets when they reach the desired size, typically around 2-3 inches in diameter for optimal tenderness and flavor.

7. Pest Management: Monitor for common pests like leaf miners and aphids. Use organic pest control methods if necessary.
