DeKalb County was formed in 1837 from land in Cannon, Warren and White counties. Historian Will T. Hale believes that the first settlers in the county were at Liberty and came from Maryland in 1797. If so, Adam Dale was the first settler.
Beets and beet greens are rich sources of iron and important vitamins. You can plant beets beginning in early spring and up until about 90 days before the first frost. It takes about 55 to 60 days for the roots to mature.
When to Plant. Begin planting beet seeds directly in the garden one month before your last spring frost date, followed by a second planting two to three weeks later. Beet seeds can germinate in cool soil, but they sprout best when soil temperatures are above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.hen to Plant.
