Growing Bull's Blood Beet Garden Seeds

Growing Directions:

Start with a light, moist soil, ideally with a PH level of 6.5 to 7. Sow the seeds half an inch deep, with three inches between plants and twelve to eighteen inches between rows. These seeds will need plenty of moisture while germinating, so keep the soil moist for the first twenty one days. These beets can thrive in conditions with full sun or partial shade. After forty to fifty two days, the beets should be ready for harvesting. Around this time, they will be between two and three inches. If you would like to keep the beets in your garden for aesthetic purposes, the leaves will turn to a darker shade of red as they continue to mature.
