Sow the seeds half an inch deep, with three inches between plants and 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 forty to fifty two days, the beets should be two to three inches, and ready for harvesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso known as beetroot and blood turnip, these beets are uniform in shape and flavor. They are known to grow in chilly Spring weather and are mostly problem free but sometimes get aphids or flea beetle. Control with insecticidal soap, pyrethrums, and good garden sanitation. Can be bottled or pickled. Perfect for canning. Cut up, blanche, and freeze in freezer bags. Pick leaves before any sign of wilt for tasty greens. A rich source of Iron, Calcium, and Vitamins: A, B1, B2, C, and Niacin. Heat and cold tolerant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeeds Per Package:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 g - Approximately 125 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 oz - Approximately 1,250 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 oz - Approximately 5,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Approximately 20,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Approximately 100,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 lb - Approximately 500,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"8g Pkg (3x4)","offer_id":35361956954274,"sku":"18569","price":1.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12g Pkg (3x4)","offer_id":35361956987042,"sku":"18854","price":2.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":35361957019810,"sku":"30601","price":5.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":35361957052578,"sku":"30598","price":15.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":35361957085346,"sku":"30599","price":44.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 lb","offer_id":35361957118114,"sku":"18126","price":180.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/beet-detroit-dark-red-wm_700.jpg?v=1595857167","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/beet-detroit-dark-red-vegetable-seeds","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
