How to grow beets?

I love walk to raise vegetables in my garden. It is so nice to be able to be bale to walk out ot your own garden and be able to pick fresh vegetables, when you want to and not have to go to the grocery store to get them.

Beets are one of the most popular crops that is grown in a vegetable garden. I always like to plant some beets in our vegetable garden. Since beets are highly productive and there is not much trouble in growing beets. Beets can be grown in my vegetable garden or I can grow them in my containers that I have her at my house. Beets can be harvested as baby roosts and this happens after a few weeks after they are sown or I can leave them in the ground longer so they will reach full size, which makes the beets ideal for storing. Other uses for beets are great roasted, beets being pureed for soup or the can be added to cakes.

When I am thinking about what I want to put in my garden, beets will be on the list of vegetables that I will grow in my garden.

Beets can be started either by plants or seeds. Plug plants can be bought in the spring so there will be a head start or you can raise them from seeds. So, I want to use beet seeds for this time, instead of beet plants, I will soak my beet seeds in warm water for thirty minutes before i plant the seeds out in my garden an I do this because that helps with germination.

Now, I would like to tell you about four different beets that I like to plant in my garden. One of them is called "Boltardy" and this is a wildly grown and they produce firm, round beets. "Forono" is one that I grow for their tender baby roots. If I run out of room in my garden. I just plant them in my containers. "Red Ace" is a beet that grows dark red roost and they are very easy to grow which I really like about them. This one is good for storing which is also good "Chioggia Pink" is a beet that has red roots with pink and which flesh inside the roots. This beet has a sweet flavor.

Another reason that I like to raise beets is that are pretty much pest-and disease- free, which makes them a sure thing. The big reason that I always raise beets is, everybody n the family loves them.

Now, even if beets do not have much trouble with pests and diseases, beets need to be weeded regularly around the plants. If I do not weed my beets, then the weeds will compete against my beets and that will not be good because they will take away moisture and nutrients from the beets and slow their growth. Also if I do not weed my beets like I should, then the weeds will attract pests.

Another requirement for beets is the same for all of my garden plants and this is water. Beets need to be water regularly.

Harvesting beets can be done either when they get to be a usable size or them can be left to grow larger to be used any way.

Beets can be used in two different ways, one for the roots and the other way is the leaves. Either way they are good.
