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.
Plant more beets. Stagger your beet planting about every 2 to 3 weeks if you want to have beets to harvest over a period of time. Otherwise, all of your beets and beet tops will be ready for harvesting at the same time.You can do this in either the spring or the fall.
