Learning how to grow beets is pretty easy, but a common questions is when to harvest them. Because they grow under ground, we often can't see their progress. We don't want to risk taking our beets out too early as they won't have formed solid beetroots, but if we take them out too late they'll be woody and not great for eating

I'm new to container vegetable gardening and using grow bags on my uncovered very sunny porch. Growing beets for the first time, bought 3-5 plants and planted end of May. They are just about ready to harvest. Its June 21st in southern new england, 90 degrees today. Suggestions for what to plant in the container after harvesting these? It would have to be started in the container which could be moved to shadier spot if needed. Love your videos. Your one on shade tolerant plants inspired me to build a raised bed in a formerly neglected corner.

Hey Kevin maybe you can help me. I have been searching the Internet for two days on how to replant beets for seeds with no luck. I used all kind of phrases but with no luck. Will you do a video on replanting a beet to produce its own seeds please. Thanks.

Sayr from Oklahoma, I actually just seeded these same beets in the garden. I also mixed the seed with Golden Beets. Did you harvest your beets too early? They look small. Is that the normal size for these beets to harvest? #artisanheirloomfoods

I cut up the beets and start them in a steamer. then I slowly enjoy cutting the greens and a few minutes later add that to the steamer. I put my home made fat free dressing on top and it's delicious. anything out of the garden is delicious.

I did store 3 beets that I bought from the store, to see how long they would last in the fridge and they did last several months, like 6 months easily, until they got spoiled, it was a test. I don't normally do that.

Billie this is weird, I'm watching you and the comments are about growing beets! Ok I was looking at growing beets earlier but the comments earlier were ok, came back to finish watching you and comments are about beets

This year I tried a new recipe for picked beet stem relish. Just mixed it with some Hungarian peppers and some garden onion canned it and bam great for sandwiches or a dip with cream cheese. No waste here.

Would you recommend having an area for just growing beet tops for greens? I love the greens and put the beetroot tops in water under a grow light but wonder how long I can do this.
reply

I replanted a beet after the greens died, the greens came back to life. I'm going to let them die and regrow again. I'm a take most of the green, all the part with leaves.

Ive been checking on my beetroots over the last few weeks, the actual beetroot is quite hard - is that normal? Theyre soft when I buy them in the supermarket

Hey Kevin, the way to pronounce the name of this Italian heirloom is KEY-O-JIA. Ch in Italian = K sound. Love the videos, Im learning so much!

I totally leave an inch of stem and cut the top beet and plop it back in the ground to grow again. I do that to radishes and carrots too
reply

Do you need to separate the beet sprouts before planting? I never grew them before and just planted three together in my newspaper cup.
