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.
Soil Temperature. The temperature of the soil affects seedling growth. For beets, the ideal soil temperature is between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, the soil should be well-draining with a pH between 6.5 and 7. Adding organic matter will improve the soil's texture so it is loose enough for the deep root system of beets.
