Beets

BEETS Approximately 1,500 seed per OZ
Beets are rich in vitamins and iron. Roots and tops are good for table use. Plants thrive on a wide range
of well drained soils. PLANTING: Begin sowing beet seeds when soil has warmed somewhat after thawing
in the spring. Sow about 10 seeds per foot, 1/2″ deep in a row or scatter in a band. If you what large beets, thin to
a spacing of 4-6″ apart. For a continuous supply of greens or small tender beets, sow every 14 days until late July.
For winter storage, sow about 10 weeks before fall frost. HARVEST: Pull plants when 1.5-2″ in diameter.
Clean and cut off tops before using fresh or canning.
You will need 2 OZ of seed per 100′ row or 8 lbs per acre.
PKT size. About 1/4 OZ.
