Description: 100DETROIT GOLDEN BEETSEEDS Planting Guide for Detroit Golden Beets: 1. Select a suitable location: Choose a sunny spot in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Ensure that the soil is well-drained and contains organic matter. 2. Prepare the soil: Before planting, loosen the soil to a depth of 8-10 inches using a garden fork or tiller. Remove any rocks, weeds, or debris, and add compost or well-rotted manure to improve soil fertility and drainage. 3. Sow the seeds: Plant the Detroit Golden beet seeds directly into the prepared soil in early spring, about 2-3 weeks before the last frost date. Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart. You can also plant the seeds in raised beds or containers if garden space is limited. 4. Watering: After sowing the seeds, water the soil lightly to keep it moist. Avoid overwatering, as it may cause the seeds to rot. Once the seedlings emerge, water them deeply once a week, providing about 1 inch of water. Beets prefer consistent moisture but do not tolerate waterlogged soil. 5. Thinning: When the seedlings are about 1-2 inches tall, thin them out by removing the weaker plants, leaving the sturdiest ones about 3-4 inches apart. The thinned-out seedlings can be eaten as microgreens or used in salads. 6. Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 or 14-14-14, around the plants once they are established, following the manufacturer's instructions. Beets are moderate feeders and will benefit from a light feeding every 4-6 weeks. 7. Weed control: Regularly weed around the beet plants to prevent competition for nutrients and water. Mulching with organic materials like straw or grass clippings can help suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. 8. Pests and diseases: Beets are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but occasional problems may include aphids, leaf miners, and root maggots. Monitor your plants regularly and control pest infestations by using organic insecticides or by handpicking the pests. Rotate your beet crops yearly to prevent diseases. Harvesting Guide for Detroit Golden Beets: 1. Timing: Detroit Golden beets generally take 55-65 days from sowing to harvest, depending on growing conditions and desired size. Beets can be harvested at any stage, from baby beets to mature roots, although they are typically harvested when roots reach 1-3 inches in diameter. 2. Harvesting: To harvest the beets, gently loosen the soil around the plant using a garden fork or a hand trowel, being careful not to damage the roots. Grasp the beet greens near the crown and gently pull, lifting the entire plant out of the ground. Avoid yanking or twisting, as this can damage the roots. 3. Storing: After harvesting, remove the beet greens by cutting them off about 1-2 inches above the root. Leave a short stalk intact to prevent the beets from bleeding sap, which can cause them to lose moisture and flavor. Store the beets in a cool, dark place, such as a root cellar or refrigerator, for up to several weeks. 4. Using the greens: The beet greens are edible and nutritious. Wash them thoroughly and cook them like spinach or Swiss chard. They can be sautéed, added to soups or stews, or used in salads. By following these planting and harvest tips, you can enjoy a successful crop of Detroit Golden beets in your garden. Happy gardening!
