Mature sugar beets get up to 1 foot long, weigh 3 - 5 pounds and produce an average of 3 teaspoons of sugar. Sow sugar beet seeds 1/4 inch deep in well drained soil 50 to 85 degrees F. Plant 2 seeds every 4 inches or so. Keep seeds moist, sugar beets need to stay moist, never let them get dry. You will start to see sprouts in 14 - 21 days. Thin sugar beets to 10 - 12" apart when plants are 3" tall. The sugar beet seedlings that get removed can be cooked and are very similar to spinach. You can also leave the marble size root attached to the greens. Sugar Beets have extremely shallow roots so you will need to hand weed them early and frequently. Sugar Beets compete poorly with weeds. Keep watered regularly, do not let dry out. By mid summer sugar beets will have leaves that are 1-2 feet tall. Sugar beets mature in only 45 days. Dig or pull when the roots are 2 inches or bigger. You can harvest sugar beets for greens any time. These beets are adaptable to most soils and are frost tolerant. Great for deer feed and bait. Packet contains 1 teaspoon sugar beet seeds.
Approximately 250 seeds. |
