I wish you had walked us through while they were growing. I kinda understand how to transplant what I’ve grown based on your verbal description but I still have some questions about how I know where to separate them and how much of the red roots should be covered in soil

[@GreenThumbGardener]

I'll try to film some more

[@janeschade7875]

New Gardner here I wanna know in a big container. I have, I’ve noticed that there’s sections where no beats have come through. I want to know if I can put in more beet seeds to that container?

[@GreenThumbGardener]

👋 Hello @janeschade7875! It's great to hear that you're starting your vegetable gardening journey. 🌱 As for your beet seeds, it's definitely possible to add more seeds to the areas where no beats have come through. 💡 Just make sure to thin out the seedlings as they grow, so they have enough space to thrive. Good luck with your container garden! 🍅🥦🌶️

[@janeschade7875]

I forgot I wanted to ask you after I harvested the beads. How long would they be good for and is there a way I can keep them longer because I harvested quite a bit any suggestions and should I cut off their leaves or no?

[@GreenThumbGardener]

👋 Hi @janeschade7875, Great question! Generally, beets can last in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks. To keep them fresh longer, store them in airtight containers with a damp paper towel. Try to keep the leaves attached, as they can help keep the beets fresh. Hope this helps! 🌱🍅🥗

i'm starting the detroit supreme tomorrow

+jennifer terry Hey jennifer terry, Sweet..haven’t tried those.. how do they compare?

[@jennay3141]

Green Thumb Gardener this is my first time...lol but I will totally let you know. I’m think I’m going to try the starter seeds for them like you said. Doing these from your video so thanks

[@jennay3141]

Also The leaves are my favorite! What’s the cheapest way for nitrogen. The bone meal is for the roots, does like or blood meal for for the nitrogen?

[@janeschade7875]

What percentage of Pete Moss vermiculite perlite and organic matter compost goes in the bucket. I’m a brand new gardener and last year. I got no beats only leaves. I’m in zone 7A.

[@GreenThumbGardener]

👋 Hey there, @janeschade7875! As a general rule for container gardening, you can mix equal parts peat moss, vermiculite, and compost, with a bit of perlite (around 10-20%) for extra drainage. However, it's also important to consider the specific needs of the plants you're growing. For example, beets prefer a slightly alkaline soil, so adding lime may be helpful. And don't forget about proper watering and sunlight! Good luck with your gardening this year! 🌿🍅🌶️🥕🥬👍

[@janeschade7875]

Thank you I hope I get beets this year🤞🤞🤞

How long does beets take to harvest?

[@GreenThumbGardener]

+Karla Martinez about 60 days give or take a few days. You can harvest early for smaller ones or later for larger ones.

[@janeschade7875]

I am a brand new gardener and I just harvested my beats from containers and I wanna know because it’s still plenty of time that I can plant more beats. Can I use the same containers or no?

[@GreenThumbGardener]

👋 Hi @janeschade7875! Congrats on your beet harvest, that's awesome! 🌿 As for planting more beets, you can definitely use the same containers as long as you refresh the soil and give it some compost or fertilizer. 🌱 Best of luck with your next batch of beets! 🍀

[@janeschade7875]

@@GreenThumbGardener thank you so much I have watched you on utube and love your content! I’m learning through you!

[@janeschade7875]

Should I wet down all the soil before I put the beet seeds in it and also I put the seeds in a bowl of water is it 24 hours? I need to let them sit in there or would like 16 hours work ?

[@GreenThumbGardener]

👋Hey there! Great question! It's actually not necessary to wet down all the soil before planting beet seeds. As for soaking the seeds, a 24-hour soak time is ideal but 16 hours should work too. Happy planting!🌱🌻🥕
