    Under glass? Would that be a greenhouse, a cloche or a cold frame? In the ground, in pots or in cells? :D:thumbsup:

    I grow in pots in the greenhouse, pots outside and in the garden and pots ofr exhibition beetroot. So you can transplant if u want or thin out and grow on in the greenhouse.

    Wait till it gets to a reasonable size if you transplant, about 2 inches, and wet them before and after to avoid the risk of bolting.

    There under a small glass door, i'm happy to leave them if i can, they will have about 6-8 inches from soil to glass.

    Will this be enough if i leave them alone.
