How & Why I Start Beets from Seed (Step-by-Step Guide)

Welcome back, friends! In today's video, I’m sharing how and why I start my beets from seed—my preferred method for a successful beet harvest. For years, I struggled with direct sowing beets, but after doing some research and adjusting my approach, I had some of the best beet harvests I’ve ever grown. I’m excited to share my process with you so you can grow your own amazing beets too!

Whether you love pickled beets or just want to grow your own, this method is a game-changer! I'll also keep you updated as they grow and show you how I care for them along the way. 🌱
