Growing & Sowing Tips

📅 SowingSow directly from seed in March-April or in autumn during September-October; sow the seed to a depth of 2 cm, in rows.
🌱 Depth1.25-2 cm (about 1/2 inch; the standard recommended depth)
📏 Spacing10-15 cm (30 cm between rows)
🌞 SunFull sun
💧 WateringRegular, keep the soil moist; sensitive to dryness
🧺 HarvestLeaves 8-10 weeks after sowing; roots collected in 10-12 weeks
🪴 SoilLoose, humus-rich, near-neutral soil (pH 6.5-7); beet dislikes acidic soil (below pH 6)
⭐ DifficultyEasy
🗓️ SeasonSpring/Autumn

📅 Calendar is for the Northern Hemisphere; in the Southern Hemisphere shift sowing times by ~6 months.

💡 Key tip: Since the seeds are clustered, thin after germination; leave the strongest seedling each time.
🤝 Companion logic: It gets along well with pea, lettuce, onion, garlic, leek and corn; some brassicas like cabbage and kohlrabi also fit by balancing soil calcium. Its mineral-rich leaves (manganese and iron) can be returned to the soil as mulch/compost. Avoid pole (climbing) beans; with their long runners they shade the beet and stop its growth. Sources disagree on broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower (some report nutrient competition and germination-inhibiting risk); leave a gap if you plant them close.
