To track fetal activity, select an hour span during the day when it's easy to pay attention to feeling the baby move. A standard guideline is that at least 10 movements within an hour should be felt. It's always good to remember that some babies are more active than others. In some cases, 10 movements may be too few. The typical activity level of the baby should be taken into account when tracking fetal activity.
Planting in Successions: Beets are the kind of crop that is best planted in small successions over a period of weeks in the spring and fall. If you plant a 25-foot row of beets all at once, you have all those beets ready for harvest all at the same time.
Beetroot is the root part of the beet plant (vs. the leaves, or greens). As for companion plants, I'm usually finding that beets are helped by lettuce, and according to some sources, they also help lettuce in turn. I can not find a scientific paper verifying this, however.maller beets (about 1 to 2 inches) are more flavorful and have a better texture. Medium beets (2 to 3 inches) are good for some purposes as well. For high-elevation gardens of Arizona (above 6000 feet), you can plant beets around mid-May through mid-June.
