* When to sow beet seeds and how to care for this vegetable?
Beet is more thermophilic than other root vegetables.
Seeds are sown in fertile soil warmed up to +8°C, approximately two weeks after sowing carrots (for Estonian conditions, this time is approximately May 10-15). Seedlings appear 5-7 days after sowing.
Beet prefers fertile, loose soil and good lighting, but, like all plants with red leaves, it tolerates a little shade.
In the initial period of growth, the crop needs moisture, but from the moment the root crop is set, it can not be watered at all, since the roots of beets can penetrate into the soil to a very great depth, and there is always moisture there.
