Type: Heirloom, Non-GMO
Color: Deep red
Flavor: Sweet and tender
Shape: Round and uniform roots
Timing: Sow Early Wonder Beet seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. These beets can tolerate light frost, making them one of the first crops you can plant.
Soil Preparation: Ensure well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to provide the necessary nutrients.
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 to ensure ample space for growth.
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, especially during germination and early growth. Beets require about 1 inch of water per week.
Mulching: Apply mulch to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Harvesting: Harvest beets when they reach the desired size, typically around 2-3 inches in diameter for optimal tenderness and flavor.
Pest Management: Keep an eye out for common pests like leaf miners and aphids, and use organic pest control methods if necessary.
