According to the tips of the parnikukraine portal on Instagram, beets can also be planted for the winter, but it is important to follow a few "rules" to make them grow successfully.
How to plant beets for the winter:
- Choose the right beet variety that is suitable for planting in the fall and is resistant to cold.
- Plant carefully and not too much, as the grown vegetables do not last long and should be consumed in summer.
- Sow beet seeds in October-November, when the soil temperature is around +2° and the air has cooled to around 0°.
- Choose a sunny spot to plant the beets, possibly in a bed where zucchini, cucumbers, or onions were previously grown.
As a reminder, the quality and quantity of the potato crop depends on the time of planting and growing conditions.
