Keep at least 3” between plants and 12” between rows to allow for each plant to get proper nutrients. As they grow, pick off greens to use before they wilt. After around 60 days, beets are ready for harvest and can be gently pulled out of the ground. After harvest, beets can be stored in many different ways. For the longest preservation, put them in the freezer or can them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFacts:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e Beets are a rich source of Iron, Calcium, and Vitamins: A, B1, B2, C, and Niacin. \u003c\/p\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\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"3 g Packet","offer_id":35360333693090,"sku":"48455","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Oz","offer_id":35360333725858,"sku":"41698","price":6.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Oz","offer_id":35360333758626,"sku":"41699","price":13.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Lb","offer_id":35360333791394,"sku":"41700","price":35.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Lb","offer_id":35360333824162,"sku":"41701","price":125.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 Lb","offer_id":35360333889698,"sku":"41702","price":481.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/beet-detroit-dark-red-wm_700_f7c7d7ec-8b28-46e8-b84b-7c41782bc59f.jpg?v=1595852307","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/beet-seeds-detroit-dark-red-organic","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
