I thinned my beets and transplanted them. So far they have survived.
Don’t throw the thinnings away, add the beat leaves to your salads or smoothies!
Super yummy! Love beet leaves!
Funny enough I was looking at my Beets earlier and wondering what to do. As an experiment I pulled one on the end and replanted it-got kind of Sad-looking for a day but was fine today.
Taking a break from playing in the dirt, drinking some water, and sitting in the shade. Perfect timing that you post an other great Garden Quickie!!! Thanks Jeff your videos mean so much to me more than you know. Have a great Sunday. 😊
🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
Ha ha awesome Brandy. Sounds like you had a productive long weekend! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms yes and no. I did end up taking a nap!!! 😂
Thank you! I knew I could Count on you Jeff!!
That is really cool about the seeds💚💚💚Planting today💚💚💚
We've started multi-sowing beets like Charles Dowding does. For me the best part of the beets are the greens. Small leaves in salad or larger leaves with stems trimmed, steamed and enjoyed with a bit of butter and vinegar. So tasty and good! That is not to say I don't eat beets, I just like the greens the most. Pickled beets are a favorite around here too. Thanks for the quickie! Have a great Thanksgiving weekend.
Right on Kevin! If you prefer the greens, try growing Chard.....its ALL greens. Much more prolific than the beets! Cheers buddy. :-)
I've grown Chard too. I like the ribs sauteed and I'll steam the leaves but nobody else here is really a fan of the chard leaves. It is one of the hardiest most prolific greens I know of. My first year growing chard even heavy snow didn't bother it at all. Cheers!
@@kevinrowbotham545 I totally agree! It's a super plant that literally 95% of people don't even know about!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I had no idea. That shocks me.
Short and to the point. Great job
Thanks for watching Peggy!
Many things I know, but there is always to learn something new or fresher up. Thanks Jeff
Thanks, appreciate the support!
Hey Jeff, Great timing. I was going to thin my beets tomorrow. Now I know exactly how to do it. Thanks, Your friend Chuck
Great video Jeff! Your insight is just what a gardener needs! I bet those greens would be a nice addition to any salad!!
You're so right Mike! Super tasty with any vinagrette!
Very nice informations ♥️
Thanks! :)
You are so helpful. Thank you so much.
Jeff, I love your channel. Thank you!
Thanks so much Dawn, kind of you to say! :-)
Agree with you and thanks for the teaching Sir
Right on John, thanks for stopping by.
And them greens are great in salad.
For sure, so tasty!
I just went to my garden and thinned my row of beets. Thanks for giving me the courage to do so. I'm also growing garlic, dill, cilantro, basil, parsley, a variety of salad greens, ginger, asparagus, cucumbers, spinach, kale, bunching onions, carrots, and more. Very helpful video.
Josephine, that's amazing! You're growing basically an entire grocery store! Well done! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Now I just have to figure out a way to prevent the groundhogs and deer from getting to my plants.
Hello 👋thank you for your sharing👍🌻
Thanks Pamela! :-)
Great video as always 👍
Thanks guys, appreciate that! :-)
I usually don't direct plant them in the garden. I start the seeds inside the house in early spring (April) and then transplant them in the garden by the 3rd week of May. My harvest was great every Summer. Thanks for sharing your tips though. I'm sure this info will be beneficial to a lot of new gardeners out there. Your subscriber from Buffalo, New York.
Right on Mary! Not many people do things like Beets or Carrots from starter plants, love it! :-)
Really appreciate you!
Cheers Denise! :-)
Think, just put a seed where you want to grow it . Spaced . Multi seed is going to give many plants. That little care at seed planting, can save a lot of snipping off later. Your a star Jeff.
Hi Jeff!🙋♀️ We dont eat beets.😄 Really interesting video though! Just wanted to wish you a blessed week! 🙏💞
You too guys, happy belated Thanksgiving! :-)
The one Veggie I just cant find a way to like eating, but since you are my guy I liked, watched 4 commercials, and commented. :)
Ha ha you rock John!!! You know, the best way to eat them? Shredded into strands in a giant fresh veggie wrap with a garlic pesto aoli sauce!!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I will give it a try man thanks!
squirrels thinned my beets for me. well actually they trimmed every one of the down to nothing. I was looking forward to having beet leaves in my salads. I might have to grow some under the grow light indoors. funny they didn't touch all the other greens in my garden.
Great vid! My chard seeds (bought or collected) look exactly the same with the corky body that biologists like myself say helped them spread and stay viable. They tend to grow in clumps as well, not a huge issue but is this the same scenario?
Have you ever done pumpkins? They seem like a fun crop to grow and could be good for your business. I am going to try some next year
Probably harvesting most of my beets next weekend. Then it's preserving time. I want to leave a few in the ground to see how long they will last in the ground.
Right on Bev! What variety did you grow this year?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarmsDetroit Red. I like them best for Harvard beets and pickles. Any beet is good in Borscht.
If I had poor beet germination so my little beet clusters are all spread out in my huge row, I’m assuming I’m still have to do this as the beet seed itself is still that cluster, correct?
Do you use the same method with carrots? Cut to thin rather than pull?
What kind of straw are you using for mulch?
Its called FarmStraw....but that's the brand name. Its just a fine type straw (not hay).
I started thinning today with about 6. By evening, the thinned singlets had wilting leaves… help. So… I was to snip them and simply eat the beet leaves but not move them it seems.
can beets be done in containers like Carrots can?

Hi Jeff, please the subtitle... for not english people it's very important
I'll definitely have to look into that LaLica! I always thought TH-cam did that automatically on the user-end.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms after a sunday spend on your (very usefull) channel I can say that it's only this video.
A question: only me in October has a great desire to cultivate or at least to plan the vegetable garden for next year?
Lol
@@lalica7726 you're not alone! So many of us are garden obsessed as well! Lol!
Has anyone thinned early by gently pulling up the seedling, then planted it somewhere else?
Yes, as a teenager back in the 70’s I worked at a nursery transplanting vegetables. Everything a nursery transplants can be done. Beets however need separated early right after sprouting as the roots grow separately. Maybe 1 week after sprouting. No more! I do it every year. Just make sure it’s during the early rain period and the ground is continually moist. Water if necessary. I always plant Detroit red. They are a great hardy strain and viable. Good luck. Also.....you can seed them in your garden every (day) or week up until 7wks. Before first frost. The greens are also best cooked in alttle butter sautéed ( never discard them) they are delicious!
