Who it's for Great for salad growers and market gardeners who want ornamental deep-red greens alongside sweet, tender roots for roasting and pickling. How & when to plant Direct sow beet seeds 2–3 weeks before your last frost and again through late summer for a fall crop. Sow 1/2 inch deep, 1 inch apart, in rows 12–18 inches apart, thinning to 3–4 inches for full roots. Give full sun to light shade and even moisture. Grows well in USDA zones 2–10. Harvest Harvest baby leaves in about 35 days and roots at 55–60 days, pulling when they reach 2–3 inches across. Younger roots are the most tender; leave a bit of stem when trimming to prevent bleeding.
