Growing Directions:
Grow only in soil. Cut close to the soil to feature the colorful stem, and rinse well. Beets seeds are abnormally shaped seed, which contributes to why its preferred medium is soil. Their root systems require a bit more room to explore and grab hold.
Prepare your soil in your tray by tamping it and making sure it is moist. after presoak, sow your seeds and then cover with a thin layer of soil. This provides the ideal conditions for the seeds to germinate. After a while, the beets will start to poke through the the top layer"which also serves to de-shell the seed. Keep covered with the blackout dome for up to 5-7 days. After that, place under a growlight (or natural light) until mature! Cut close to the soil line to feature the red stem.
