- Beets are one of the healthiest foods that you can eat, and they're not that hard to grow. We prefer to transplant them to ensure we get precise plant spacing and nice, round beet roots.

I had stage 4 cancer in 2013 and have always eaten beets the information I found was beets put oxegen in your blood even in the toughest time my oxegen level never got below 97 per cent but I know who brought me through this GOD still takes care of us
Glad you're doing better Joe! Beets are really good for you!
I am so glad to have found you guys by watching Danny & Wanda at Deep South Homestead. I am in zone 8b (southern/coastal AL. 45 mile NE of Mobile, AL and 45 miles NW of Pensacola, FL) with super high humidity year-round). I have gotten back into gardening since my retirement but have forgotten a lot of the planting times for crops in our zone. (BTW: I was born in Quitman, GA and my mother's family are still scattered all over GA. My grandmother that I spent summers with as a child lived in Thomasville, GA). My late husband and I used to plant in a larger scale as you guys do but since my retirement and age-related disabilities, I have had to resort to raised bed and container/pot gardening. My soil is mostly clay and iron rock so without the capability to properly amend the soil (plus I just got my old '69 Ford Tractor running) I can't grow IN GROUND just yet...hopefully in the spring if I can get someone to help me. Anyway, I had a couple of packs of beet seeds in my collection so when I was planting my rutabaga's, cabbage, collards, mustard, kale, I decided I would direct sow into the raised bed a couple of the beet seed packs. I was not going to tell anyone that I had done so as I didn't want to be the laughing stock of the gardeners around here or hear "YOU CAN"T PLANT BEETS THIS TIME OF YEAR". Well, they have come up and are about 2 inches tall with two leaves. I watch this video and read the comments and found I CAN PLANT BEETS NOW and can plant them until it gets too hot for them to produce!! WHOO HOO!!! I also have carrots up which no one has been able to grow in this area due to the clay soil being too compact to grow carrots. In a raised bed you can amend the soil the way you wish to give them the soft dirt they need to grow. Never raised carrots or beets so I'm EXCITED I got these two crops (small scale) to sprout and are growing. I just got to thin the carrots as the seeds were so small and my eyesight is not that great so they are quite thick. The beets had few seeds in the packs so I was able to direct sow them and may not have to do too much thinning. I am finding that I am having to RE-LEARN how to garden as the old ways are proving to be not acceptable in this changing climate. My full sun plants (in the old days) are now planted in part sun/shade as the sun literally burned my tomato & pepper plants leaves to a crisp. I pruned them back after I moved them to a new area and they bounced back and produced (very little unless I self hand-pollinated every blossom as I have NO BEE'S!! I planted Lantana to attract butterflies (which brought many beautiful butterflies to my garden this year but also left me with their larva/worms that began eating my peppers, tomatoes, eggplants). Then the drought with our excessive humidity brought on powdery mildew problems so I fought many battles and often just left me scratching my head trying to figure out what to do or what I was doing wrong. MY BRAIN LITERALLY HURTS trying to remember when to plant, what to plant, when to harvest (garlic & onions are a big problem for me to grow to any size other than green onion size). I am almost finished building my NEW greenhouse (hope to finish before this next super cold front comes thru next week bringing temps at night into the upper 20's-UNHEARD OF FOR OUR AREA THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!) I have huge pots of ginger that I don't want to die plus 9 fig trees I successfully transplanted from the mother tree but roots are still too delicate to put in the ground. I am also going to try to raise my 3 best tomato & bell pepper plants as well as my 3 eggplants that are still producing blooms and baby eggplant since I pruned the plants back. I have a couple of full-spectrum grow lights and will need a source of heat for the greenhouse but I AM DETERMINED to grow fresh veggies thru the winter. (Plus all my herbs that are still doing well in my tiny plastic storebought greenhouse). Is there any brochures available for temp requirements for different vegetables, growing days, when to plant and when to harvest for specified zones? I know a lot of newbie gardeners that have asked me the same question. Growing beets is a good example in that I had no clue that they could be planted now and all thru spring. Most seed packets say to plant after all danger of frost, etc. That tells me NOTHING for my zone. I know growing my own veggies will be essential for survival in the coming uncertain times of our country and the GSM weather conditions so do you offer seed/transplanting times, days til harvest, temp requirements, when to harvest etc., or could you make a chart/brochure for our zone 8(a,b) to help us that are trying to become self-sufficient? I also want to THANK YOU for all the video's full of valuable info that you take the time to make for us wanna-be gardeners. I have got to start checking out some of your older vid's before I became a subscriber here to see if there is something ELSE new that would help me in my ventures of gardening. YOU GUYS AT HOSS TOOLS ROCK!!!! PS, I ordered some elephant garlic last night so I'm looking forward to getting it to get it planted! Blessings to you and much prosperity to HOSS TOOLS & your families!!
Glad your garden is prospering and thanks for the order! Excited to have you as a viewer!
Another great video! I don't even care to eat beets, but now I want to plant some.
They are really fun to grow. And even if you don't like the beet roots, the greens are delicious.
I'm loving that dibble wheel setup! At least one in my future!
It definitely gets the rows all straight and "purdy"!
Hi Travis. I am really liking this double row technique. Are there any plants this will NOT work for?
Squash, Corn, Potatoes, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage and maybe a few more -- basically plants that need plenty of room, it doesn't work as well.
I grow bush beans on a double row and I get insane harvests with a 3-inch seed spacing.
Also I've been trying to grow beets for about 6 years and the most I could do is make a few deformed looking things that ain't worth messing with
Mphymel the thinning is the key.
check the ph. i have faild growing beets for 2 seasons until i fixed the ph in the soil
@@marckvaler3726 what pH do beets like?
Digging the videos. Keep’em flowing.
That was a good video though that Dibble wheel does look like a nice little accessory
Jason Woodruff thanks for watching!
Thanks very much (from New Zealand) I might just order some Hoss tools. Keep up the great work/videos - much appreciated!
Thanks for watching!
Veggie Tables I can tell you they have the best seeds I don’t know them or anything but they have amazing customer service and the seeds I got from them had a almost 100% germination rate and came out faster than any other seed company’s seeds I have ever bought from. Haven’t been able to get any of their tools yet but a lot of channels I’m subscribed to share by their tools and always have a beautiful garden.
when did you do the 3rd sowing? you daid the 1sowing was in january, the 2d was in late feb early march. the dates you provide are very helpfull for me because i live in Gerogia too. Tanks !!
We planted beets basically every month in the spring until it got too hot in late April/May. They don't do well when the day temps get higher.
Good morning what type of beets you growing? Because beets don't do well here in port st luice Florida
Touchstone Gold

How well does it work to poke through weed coverings like plastic or woven types
We don't use landscape fabric, so we never personally tried it. But we've got customers who are using it with plastic mulch and having good results. Just need to make sure the plastic is laid correctly and tight to the soil below it.
Where do you buy those trays The ones on your site are only 162 cells
James Ruland we don’t currently sell the 288 trays, but we can get them if enough people want them.
I'm surprised you could still plant beet right now I would have thought that it would be way too late in the year to do that
Mphymel we like to test the limits. Nights have been unusually cool so we think we can get three round of beets before the heat sets in.
I love beets ,i have planted them several times and never made any ,the seeds come up ,but the plants die off before they get any size. After inspection it looks like nematodes . Is there a nematode resistant beet variety available.
Not that we're aware. Might want to plant a cover crop of mustard to help with those nematodes.
Is there much taste difference between the red and gold beets? My wife loves em but I just can't seem to get them down. Enjoys your videos.
The gold beets have a slightly milder flavor -- not quite as earthy as the red beets. We grow both and love them.
What fertilizers do you use for your beets?
We use 20-20-20 and supplement with our Micro-Boost (hosstools.com/product/micro-boost/). Beets like a little extra boron, so the Micro-Boost really helps.
What’s your fertilization schedule for beets? Thank you. The new dibble wheel is a great idea.
20-20-20 plus our Microboost through the drip system every couple weeks.
How long are they in the trays before transplant into the garden? Thanks Carl from Michigan
Beets usually take a little longer in the trays than most crops. Probably 6 weeks or so.
What zone are you in? I'm in zone 6A so I don't know when I can start beets.
We are in 8b and grow them all throughout the fall and winter. Get yours started now and you'll be good to go.
Great video! Think it is too late in the season to plant beets in Central Florida? Zone 9b. Thanks!
You could certainly give it a try. You might be on the tail end of the planting window. Thanks for watching!
Is that pickled beet juice or how did u do it?
not pickled, just blended up with blender and filtered.
Can I still plant beets in Rock Hill S.C. in April?
Don't see why not. Just have your finger on the irrigation trigger because hot days can take a toll on them.
@@gardeningwithhoss ok thanks
Do you use drip tape on the beets? Didn't hear you mention it.... Thanks!
We have and it works well. We bury a line of tape and plant on both sides of it.
What animals attack the beets ?
I have some wild rabbits that might be a problem. Should I build a tall raised bed or maybe some fencing. My garden is small compared to yours.
Probably rabbits. Fencing is probably your best option.
Can you plant these for a fall crop in your zone?
Oh yeah! Just wait until the temperature breaks a little because beets don't like hot weather.
So frost not a big issue with beets?
Not a huge issue if you keep the ground moist.
Thank you both for all the help! Great company, and always a pleasure.
How about direct seed?
Direct seeding works well too if consistent size is not important to you. Most beet varieties are multigerm, which means each seed produces 2-3 plants. You can thin them if you want evenly sized beets, or just let them grow in bunches.
Great video. Though I'm curious what you guys do with all your produce since it seems like you grow a ton of stuff. Do you sell some at a farmer's market or something?
We eat some, give some to family, and one of our employees has a weekly vegetable bag that he sells. Not much goes to waste around here. Thanks for watching!
I joined the row by row group on facebook to ask questions but there’s too much bullying going on. I made a simple comment on a post and one of the other members is telling me off on the post!
I'm very sorry about that Laurie. If you have any more issues, please report the post and we'll remove the thread and keep a close eye on those doing the bullying.
@@gardeningwithhoss I’ve reported his comments to the admin. The same guy is on a spree telling other people he’s going to have them removed. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your response here. I know you are a super busy man and I appreciate your time.
@@gardeningwithhoss well I can’t comment on any row by row post nor can I make a post of my own. All because I was being bullied and reported it. That’s very depressing.
@@gardeningwithhoss I was there. I saw this going on. This guy is being very nasty and it does not appear anything is being done about it except apparently this woman being muted for reporting it. I'm not sure I'm going to remain in this group. I like your channel but I can't deal with bullies. I saw everything she wrote in her replies. It was noting out of line or inappropriate.
Send us a FB message with the person's name and we'll take care of it.
Beets aren't new guys.
