Beetroot seeds are actually small fruit clusters containing multiple seeds, so thinning is especially important after germination.\u003cbr\u003eGrowing: Water consistently to keep soil evenly moist, especially during root formation. Thin seedlings to 3-4 inches apart once they emerge, as beetroot seed clusters often produce multiple seedlings close together.\u003cbr\u003eHarvesting: Harvest once roots reach 2-4 inches in diameter, typically 60-75 days after sowing.
