Burrell Seeds 2018 Catalog

BEETS Beet seeds can be planted early in spring and throughout the season for a continuous supply. However, they are a cool weather crop. Beets tolerate light frost and light shade. Loose loamy soil or sandy soil is ideal. Plant 1/2” to 1 1/2” deep in rows 16” to 20” apart. Thin seedlings to 3” apart. Our onion thinner makes that task quick and easy. Beet roots should be covered with light mulch or soil as they push up through the ground. Keep evenly moist during growing season.
