Beetroot

Hi all,

I am going to sow some beet root and the packet say sow direct. I was reading about sowing beer root in one of the books I have and it says to soak the seeds for half an hour in warm water to promote quicker germination. Does anyone else do this or should I sow direct.

Thanks
Rusty

 

Hi there Rusty.

Aint never heard of that before. Just sow them direct...
Of course, I could be wrong....

 

Never ever soaked them and they've always grown just fine. I sow in pinches of three or four seeds spaced about 3 or 4 inches and then reduce to one once germinated.

 

BeetROOT John, BeetROOT!!! Geez... :slaponhead:

 

I sow mine direct.....one every three inches....give um a good talking to and fully expect every one to come up perfectly...so no thinning required...i've been lucky so far...they've all done as they are told..... works for me
