General Information About Growing Beets
Planting Beets in the Class Garden
 

Beet seeds are really fruits containing about a half dozen seeds. For small bunches of early beets, you can sow one "seed" per cell of a seedling tray. When the first true leaves appear, transplant the plugs in the garden 4 inches apart. If you don't thin them, four or five seedlings will grow, and you can pull a bunch of baby beets at each spot.
