GROW TENDER BEETS

Beets thrive best in a light, loose, deeply worked soil that has 
that is not acid. Sow about 
12 seeds per foot 4% inch deep in rows 18 inches apart. Thin out 
to 3 or 4 inches apart when they are 2 inches high or they may be 
been enriched for a previous crop, and 
left until they reach 6 inches for use as “greens.”

a little deeper.
