Sowing instructions
Sow beet seeds directly outdoors, as beetroot generally does not prefer transplanting. Burpee also lists direct sow as the sowing method for Burpee’s Golden. Harvest can be expected in about 55 days.
Sow when the soil has warmed to around 45°F / 7°C or above. Beet seeds generally germinate in temperatures of about 50–85°F / 10–29°C, and they perform best in cool growing conditions.
Sowing depth: about ½–¾ inch / 1–2 cm
Spacing in row: about 1 inch / 2.5 cm
Row spacing: about 12–18 inches / 30–45 cm
Thin seedlings once they are established, as each seed cluster may produce several plants. Leave about 3–4 inches / 7–10 cm between plants for proper root development.
Beets grow best in full sun and light, loose, well-drained soil. Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season, as inconsistent watering can reduce root quality and size.
For a longer harvest season, sow in smaller batches every couple of weeks instead of planting everything at once.
