Golden beets have a orange buttery flesh color and a mild-sweet flavor. Beets are fairly frost hardy and can be planted in the garden up to a month before the last frost. However beets grow better during warm weather. Establish the seedlings under cool, moist conditions. Plant beet seedlings in the garden at 20 day intervals until midsummer, this will allow you to harvest for several months during the season. Make sure the soil is moist throughout. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep and one inch apart. Allow 12 to 18 inches between rows. Golden beets can be harvested around 55 days after planting.
Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Hydrangea plants
Why are my leaves turnning yellow?
Answer
The most common cause for yellow leaves on hydrangea is iron chlorosis, iron becomes less available in high pH soils. Iron chlorosis in hydrangea is expressed as the new leaves turning yellow as they develop. Iron chlorosis can be corrected by adding a chelated iron product which can be found at your local garden center Follow the directions on the package carefully, you should see results in a couple weeks. It may need to be added once a year in soils with a high pH. The other possible cause for yellow leaves on hydrangea is a nitrogen deficiency which is expressed as the yellowing of older leaves. Nitrogen deficiency can be correct by simply adding a balanced fertilizer or a hydrangea specific formula. Hope this helps!
