Beets can be sowed as early as the soil can be worked or they can be started inside and transplanted as soon 
as you can get on the ground. Sow ¥% inch apart, % inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Thin seedlings 
to 1 % to 3 inches depending on what size beets are wanted. For continuous harvest, plant at three week intervals 
to August Ist. 
If you are planning on canning beets, better use Detroit Dark Red. The color is more uniform throughout 
the beet. If you want a bunching or table beet, Early Wonder or Crosby are desirable. In some localities 
where the beet tops are used for greens, Green Top Bunching is used extensively. Beets for greens are usually 
grown in the greenhouse during the Winter months. 
Have you ever tried transplanted beets? Start them in a cigar box in the house and transplant as soon as the 
ground can be worked. It is surprising how soon you will have beets ready to eat.
