| Beets are fairly frost hardy and can be planted in the gardens in mid March in our area. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep and one inch apart. Allow 8" between rows. If thinning is delayed until the plants are 3 inches tall, the tops can be cooked. They are similar to spinach. Some cooks leave the small root (usually about the size of a marble) attached to the greens. |
