Table Beets

 Barbabietola, Ital.

For a continuous supply throughout the season, make the first 

 sowing outdoors about middle of April and every two weeks 

 thereafter up to August 1st. To be most palatable, Beets should 

 be eaten while quite young when the bulbs average two inches in 

 diameter, no more. To secure a good start outdoors, the gardener 

 should always walk over the rows after the seeds are sown and 

 seedlings thinned to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row.
