Sow 1cm (0.5") deep, about 2cm (1") apart. For Farms: 100' rows using 42 grams. For Acres: 4kg, with a row spacing of 30-38cm (12-14"). 
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Seeds will germinate in 5-12 days depending on soil
temperature. For uniformly sized beets, thin carefully to 7-15cm (3-5&quot;)
apart when seedlings are 5cm (2&quot;) tall. Eat thinnings, roots and all.
Root size is controlled by spacing and variety.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
In optimum conditions at least 75% of seeds will germinate. Sow outdoors (do not raise transplants) late April to mid-July on the Coast. Beets will not produce roots if planted when the soil is too cold.
Seed life: 3 years
