Create on-trend homegrown meals and starters starring popular baby veggies when you grow Bonnie Plants™ Foodie Fresh™ Babybeat Beet from seed. Enjoy fresh gourmet ingredients from your garden when you plant these easy-to-grow seeds. Unlike full-sized beets pulled early, these baby beets produce smooth-skinned, round, 1-2" roots that need no peeling. Perfect enjoyed whole, they taste great steamed, roasted, pickled, juiced, or eaten raw in salads. Add them to sheet-pan meals for an easy dinner, or purée them and mix into batter for super-moist, rich cakes. The edible leaves make a great addition to stir-fries and salads. Start seeds outdoors after last frost, following the directions on the packet. Beets prefer cooler spring and fall temperatures. Plant seeds 1/2" deep, cover with soil, and keep evenly moist. Seeds sprout in 5-17 days. Thin seedlings to 2" apart when true leaves appear. Matures in 40 days. Beets need full sun and consistently moist, well-drained soil. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch and feed regularly with Bonnie Plants™ Foodie Fresh™ Plant Food. Bonnie Plants™ Foodie Fresh™ seed varieties create culinary inspiration, adding delicious flavors, textures, and colors to your garden-to-table meals.
