Sow the seeds half an inch deep. Because the beets will grow in a cylindrical shape, you will only need to put one inch between the seeds. Leave twelve to eighteen inches between rows. These seeds will need plenty of moisture while germinating, so keep the soil moist for the first twenty one days. These beets can thrive in conditions with full sun or partial shade. After fifty five days, the beets should be ready for harvesting. Around this time, they will be between six to seven inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCylindra Beets grow well in almost any type of soil, tolerating even chilly soil. Cylindra has been known to germinate in soil as cool as 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Preferred by chefs because of its exceptionally sweet flavor and its long cylinder shape making it easier to slice, giving it the nickname \"Butter Slicer.\" This beet plant is diverse in its cooking applications. It has been known to be roasted, baked, steamed, pickled, and added to salads. 1,200 seeds\/oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"8g Pkg (3x4)","offer_id":35361675739298,"sku":"18568","price":1.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":35361675804834,"sku":"30592","price":6.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":35361675870370,"sku":"30590","price":14.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":35361675935906,"sku":"30591","price":43.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/cylindra-beet-seed-wm_700.jpg?v=1595856331","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/beet-cylindra","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
