Quite a lot of beetroot has come up and many of the plants are close together. Do I really have to throw away the thinnings? or can I transplant them to a new row?? It breaks me heart to throw them away, it is one of my favourite veg.
they're nice as salad leaves ;D
They'll move.
Yep, easy - water the row first ;)
theyr'e easy to move, make sure you water them in well ;D ;D
Mine are always started off in cells first....I never put the seed directly into the ground.
I always end up with a good crop.
This definately works as I did it last year. Like you; I thought, can't waste all this lovely beetroot!
I agree with Fork. I sow mine in cell trays, thin those that need to be done into other cell trays, then plant them up on the plot. I put a load out today despite getting soaked by the rain!
Personally, I think they produce better plants, perhaps because they are spaced properly and not where the seeds decide to germinate.
Out of interest, what is the heaviest beetroot anyone has grown? What variety?
