A significant proportion of real estate deals do not close on the scheduled date. Ninety percent of the time, the buyer is responsible for the delay. There are a number of reasons for this. Buyers often have contingencies to satisfy prior to closing, typically related to financing and home inspection.
Growing Beets - Necessities. 1  Containers - Beets have always been prized for their ability to grow in almost any climate or soil condition, so naturally they are also well suited for container gardens. 2  Potting Soil - You'll find that beets can adapt to a variety of soils, but they will do better when the right conditions are provided. Beets, like many other root crops, do best in potting soils that are free of pebbles, rocks and hard clumps. These soil obstructions can cause beet roots to become deformed. As they are heavy feeders, beets will also need an initial potting soil with high nutritional value.
Sprinkle the soil with water until the soil is damp. Keep the soil moist while the beet seeds germinate, which takes about 14 to 21 days. Place floating sheets of clear plastic over the rows if garden pests such as leafhoppers or leaf miners are an issue. The row covers keep the insects off the beets once they sprout. If pests are not a problem, leave the rows uncovered.
