Beetroot started in modules
« on: May 23, 2013, 16:47 »
Hi all, I started some beetroot in modules a few weeks ago, two variety's the long variety and the white variety.
My question is, when should i plant it out on the plot? the seedlings have two leaves about an inch maby more long at the moment but im not sure how big i should allow it to grow before transplanting out. as one is the long beetroot variant it will surely stump the growth of the root if left in the module for too long im thinking.

Cheers.

I would get them planted as soon as possible.
They always grow quicker for me if i transplant early.

and don't worry of they look a bit sorry for themselves on planting out. They will soon pick up

I plant two or three seeds in each module and plant the whole clump... they just push each other apart when growing, Makes planting out easy  :D
