Sowing: You can easily sow beets in February and March when growing them in a greenhouse. Sowing outdoors is possible from April to July. For storage, the second half of May is the best sowing period. Sow 20 cm between rows, then thin them to 7 to 10 cm apart. Do not transplant the seedlings.

Harvest: Sow early from mid-July to late September. For storage, pull the beets up in late autumn—around mid-November—before the first frost. Remove the foliage and bury them in sand in a frost-free location.

Collaboration between the Small Farm Foundation and Pickers
 🌱 This product was selected by Hester from the De Kleine Boerderij foundation, a social food garden in Fochteloo where pesticide-free vegetables are grown for low-income households. People can harvest their own produce and learn about healthy eating, neighbors can connect, and vegetables are distributed through the local food bank and the Salvation Army. The garden also provides tools for making healthy, budget-friendly meals with these vegetables, and children in the garden learn where their food comes from. For every order, we contribute €0.50 to the garden. Read more about this initiative here .

Saving seeds

Store seeds in a cool, dry and dark place, such as a sealed box in a cupboard. Pay attention to the expiration date on the packaging and use them before that time. If the packaging has been opened, make sure it is sealed properly and check the germination capacity before use.

You can easily test the germination capacity of seeds with a germination test :

  1. Place a few seeds (for example 10) on a damp piece of kitchen paper.
  2. Fold the paper towel closed and place it in a plastic bag or place it in a sealed container.
  3. Place it in a warm place, such as on the windowsill.
  4. After a few days, check to see if the seeds have started to germinate.
