Beetroot Problem

Hi there, first post on this forum! I'll be sure to post in the newbies forum shortly, just wanted to see if I could find an answer to my beetroot problem first.
I sown my beetroot seeds about one week ago, but I didn't plant them deep enough, now they have started sprouting but they're growing on top of the soil. Should I pull them out and start again or can I cover with more compost?



Thank You =]

Thanks for your reply =]
I managed to mess up one of the easiest vegetables to grow? Oh dea! Not a great start lol

I work on the larger the seed the deeper it goes.

I've planted squash at the same depth and they're quite large so think I'll go top up the soil!

I'd forgotten about that - yes, they definitely don't like the root disturbing (same goes for chard and others in the leaf beet family)  All it does is stop growing for a little while (very noticeable when comparing it with one left undisturbed that were sown the same time), but will recover eventually.
