Beginning process

You first want to fill your pot or tray with soil. Use enough soil to allow the roots to begin later in the process of growing your beets.








We then watered the soil first before putting the seeds in the soil. To make sure the seeds didn't go down further in the soil if we watered them immediately after.


We measured 1" deep in the soil for the seed to be planted. Include a label if your planting multiple of different seeds and don't want to get them mixed up.


We made three holes that were about 2" apart from each.


We used 7 seeds because there were two small ones. We put two seeds in two holes and three in the third hole.



We then put the beet seeds in the holes.


 Put the soil lightly on top and don't pack the soil tightly on top. You want to have space for the seeds in the soil.


Put Plastic wrap over the top of your planted seeds. Put a little pinhole in the wrap to allow some air but not to much and not to have it at a really hot temperature.


Place it under a light or in a greenhouse. If using a light, the lights acts like the sun.
