Beets (also known as Beetroot) should be a staple of every vegetable garden. They’re really easy to grow from seed – and you don’t have to wait long ’til harvest time.
Beets have quirky seed that produce multiple plants, so they need special aftercare to avoid overcrowding.
In this short video we explain some simple guidelines to help you harvest a bumper crop of beets this year.

Wonderful video, thank you!!!
i have been trying to grow beets and it doesnot work out well .thanks fir the tips let me try out this time
am in uganda, what could be the best varieties to be grown in uganda
Mix one gram of boric acid in a liter of water and mist the leaves occasionally to prevent ugly leaves. Beets need boron, but you have to be careful. It doesn't take a lot of boron to reach toxic levels.
My beets always grow nicely, but when it's time to harvest them I find that something (mice?) has been eating the tops that are above the soil. How do I prevent that from happening in the future? I almost never get a harvest because they've all been eaten away at the top before they're ready.
Harvest the seeds of bolted plants
Where do I get the beet seeds off the beet to make this sustainable?
Hi I’m new to all this how do I get your garden planner
they are called beetroot in English and beets in Simplified American English, either way, they are delicious raw, freshly boiled, roast or pickled.
I don't sow mine in rows, I sow as a crowd in a raised bed which negates the need to weed.
I start harvesting as baby beetroot, which naturally thins out the remainder.
These things like a lot of water.
leaves are edible too, use them as salad greens.
Make a soup with garlic and balsamic vinegar, a little flour for thickening and serve with pyrogi, spuds and/or meatballs….a little fried onion to garnish…delicious
Thank you
Really as simple as that? I have subscribed.
I would really love more info about growing beets for baby salad greens
I’m beet challenged but will keep trying!
Since the beets are underground, how do you know when to harvest them? How do you tell what size they are without digging them up?
Can I grow these in grow bags with potatoes
Trying a different variety this year. I have had plenty of success with Boltardy and Detroit, but wanted something for later in the year that does not go woody. I found a variety named "LUTZ" which is said to be a late beet that does not go woody and has a wonderful sweet taste even if grown large.
Great video with many good tips. Thanks from Toronto, Canada.
Great video, if sowing diectly outside, should the seeds be kept moist daily?
Thank you
I wanted to know if they start pushing up through the dirt or should I keep covering them
