When planting beets in open ground, it is important to take into account weather conditions, ripening times and favorable days.
Beetroot is a fairly cold-resistant crop, and it can be transferred to the beds starting in April. However, planting beetroot in May will also be the right decision.
When to plant beets in May
If you missed March and April, then in May and even in June the lunar calendar offers many favorable days for planting.
If you want to get a large harvest of large and juicy beets, find time to plant them on May 19-20, 23-24.
When is the right time to plant beets?
First of all, you should pay attention to the ripening time of root crops. And here it is important to consider that early varieties will yield a harvest in 80-90 days, mid-season varieties will need a little more time - up to 110-120 days, late varieties will ripen no earlier than 140-150 days.
In spring, any varieties can be transplanted into open ground, but in summer it is advantageous to plant early ripening beets.
