For tender, best quality beets, sow seeds before midsummer heat and again in late summer to early fall at least 10 weeks before fall frosts. Keep soil evenly moist throughout the growing season. Be sure to thin beet seedlings carefully several times as they grow best when given enough room.
Harvest and Use: After thinning seedlings, use their tender young tops for nutritious, flavorful steamed greens. Pull some of this beautiful five colored mix as baby size, 1-2 in. diameter, or let the bright colored roots grow as large as desired. Garden fresh beets will cook more quickly than store-bought. They are delicious shredded fresh into salads or steam, boil or roast in their skins like potatoes, then peel for wonderful colors and sweet concentrated flavor.
