Additional plantings can be made throughout the cool growing season, including late summer for a fall crop. Plant in loose, fertile, well-drained soil and keep evenly watered as roots develop. Beet seeds can produce more than one seedling, so thin young plants as needed to give the roots room to develop. Harvest roots when they reach the desired size. For storage, harvest mature roots before the ground freezes, trim the tops, and keep them in cool, humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent for fresh eating, roasting, pickling, canning, beet greens, and winter root storage.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePot Size: Deep container (3–5+ gallons)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheap Seeds, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51465835249828,"sku":null,"price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/2660\/8036\/files\/detroit-dark-red-beets.png?v=1788626487","url":"https:\/\/cheapseeds.net\/products\/detroit-dark-red-beet-seeds","provider":"Cheap Seeds, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
