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.
Too much nitrogen will cause beets to produce lots of greens but little roots. Soak beet seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to aid germination. Beets prefer cool weather. For an early summer crop, sow seeds in a sunny spot, 3 to 4 weeks before your last frost. Plant seeds 1/2-inch deep, 2 inches apart if growing for greens, 3 to 4 inches apart if growing for the roots (but you can still harvest the greens, too). Sow seeds again in late summer for a fall crop.
