Beet although it is a two-year-old plant, but gardens are familiar to growing this root plant as an annual plant. In the first year, it is easy to grow delicious root roots, and the next year, if necessary - collect seeds.
Beets are planted in two ways: seedlings and seeds. The second option is used everywhere. Therefore, we consider in more detail how to plant beet seeds.
How to plant beets seeds in open ground
In order to sow seeds and get a shameful harvest, you need to think about the preparation at the end of spring. Soil must warm up enough (minimum threshold to +10 degrees). In order for the seeds not died, and in the future the culture developed correctly, the minimum air temperature should be +20 degrees.
Before planting seeds, it is necessary to prepare the planting material. You can buy beet seeds both in specialized stores and markets. They look not quite familiar, they are a small outlet or "tangles" of several elements. One outlet is a seed. It is impossible to separate seeds, and you need to soaring one glamor into the ground.
It is noteworthy that each such dual or even structured element gives from 3 to 5 plants in the future. This must be taken into account and be sure to break the beet in the process.
How to put seeds:
- seeded prepared seeds (properly collected, dried) immediately in open ground. Some varieties of frost resistant, so you can risk and sow seeds when the soil warmed up to a temperature of +5 degrees. With such an early crop, it is possible to count on the first shoots not earlier than in 3 weeks;
- if sowing will be late when the soil warms up to +10, and even +15 degrees, shoots will be early and will appear after a week;
- how to prepare seeds: for 2 or 3 days before landing, seeds need to be soaked in water or a special solution for soaking (sold in stores, but you can do without it). Water should be taken warm, but not hot. Wait 2 or 3 days, depending on the room temperature. Seeds should swell, then water needs to drain and dry the planting material;
- the landing in the soil seed beet is carried out in the pre-prepared soil. This will have to do in the fall, step the soil (deep steps) to get a sparkle layer. Improve immediately, after the rescue, from 30 to 50 g (per 1 square meter), potash or phosphoric fertilizer + potassium-containing feeder (in the same quantity);
- with the onset of spring, the soil will again have to move, but not as deep, make a nitrogen-containing feeder (no more than 50 g per square meter). If required, to hold lime:
- how to sow beet seeds: the distance between rows is withstanding at least 30 cm. Singing seeds into open ground with a pitch of 10 cm (as needed, 5 cm) at a depth of minimally 1.5 cm, the maximum blowout is 3 cm;
- after sowing the upper layer of the soil, it is necessary to seal a little.
Features of growing beets of seeds and care
Preparing the garden to sow seeds, it is impossible to fertilize the soil, because the beets, like a sponge, will absorb all chemicals. This root is unpretentious in leaving, perfectly feels like extreme beds. And if there is a free place in your site, then this space fill in other vegetable crops. Next door to beetroot, beautiful carrots, cucumbers, cauliflowers, celery, as well as any bean, tomatoes and early varieties of potatoes. You can also plant next to beet and eggplant.
For the next year, it is impossible to sow beets. Even if the harvest was excellent. The next landing at this place is no earlier than in 4 years.
Plant care:
- Water the soil - only as necessary. The overwhelming beet does not carry out, excessive moisture negatively affects the taste of the root.
- Timely breaking. It is necessary to make this manipulation only after the soil is loose (up to 5 cm depth), and all weeds are removed.
- Harvesting - deep in the fall, in front of the first frosts. Heads need to dig (or pull it out) very careful not to damage. Beets are desirable to free from the leaves, consider land. Store crop - in a cool dry room.
