These Dark Red Beets grow into gorgeous, tender sprouts with deep red shoots and delicate green leaves.  An amazing earthy flavor rounds out this extremely rewarding micro-green.

Beets can be the more difficult sprout to grow… but well worth it!  It's the prettiest sprout there is (flame red) and can make any plate look and taste even better.

Beets like warm air 75 - 78 degree temperature, humidity 80 - 86%, water temperature 70 degrees) and low light in the room for the first 3 days. The outer surface of a beet seed is like a sponge and can absorb a great amount of water.  Please read these instructions carefully:

Proper way to sprout Beet seed:

1. Put beet seed in a bucket/tub/container
2. Let the seeds soak in warm (not boiling and not cold) water for approx. 8 hours. Stir well in about 4 hours.
3. Put in colander and Rinse with lukewarm water until the water that comes off is no longer brown.
   ⚠️ This is important, as red beet has the above water soluble anti-sprouting components (slime) on its hulls. This is a protection: otherwise, in nature, red beet would sprout in an environment that is not humid enough. Clever seed, isn’t it?
4. Set aside in a warm room.  Give NO WATER and it will sprout in approx. 24-48 hrs.
5. Then, water as you would any of your other sprouts & micro-greens

Onion sprouts and microgreens are increasingly popular among indoor gardeners due to their rapid growth and nutritional benefits. These small, tender plants are not only easy to cultivate but also provide a fresh addition to various dishes. This guide will provide insights into the process of growing onion sprouts and microgreens indoors, focusing on the necessary conditions, techniques, and benefits.

Onion sprouts typically germinate within 7 to 14 days, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a quick harvest.

Soak the seeds in water for a few hours before planting can enhance germination rates, as it allows the seeds to absorb moisture and initiate the sprouting process.

For indoor cultivation, a shallow tray filled with a growing medium, such as potting soil or coconut coir, is recommended. The medium should be moistened but not overly saturated, as excess water can lead to mold growth. Once the seeds are evenly spread across the surface, a light layer of soil can be added to cover them. Maintaining a consistent moisture level is crucial during the germination phase.

Light is another critical factor in the successful growth of onion sprouts and microgreens. They require approximately 12 to 16 hours of light daily. Natural sunlight is ideal, but if this is not available, using fluorescent or LED grow lights can effectively supplement their needs. Positioning the lights about 2 to 4 inches above the plants will help prevent leggy growth while ensuring adequate light exposure.

Temperature also plays a significant role in the growth of onion sprouts. A range of 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) is optimal for germination and growth. Monitoring the temperature and adjusting the environment as necessary will promote healthy development. Additionally, good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal diseases, which can be a concern in indoor settings.

Harvesting onion sprouts and microgreens can begin once they reach about 2 to 4 inches in height, typically within 10 to 20 days after planting. Using scissors, cut the sprouts just above the soil line. This method allows for a clean harvest while minimizing damage to the remaining roots, which may allow for a second harvest if conditions are favorable.

Incorporating onion sprouts and microgreens into your diet can provide numerous health benefits. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, contributing to overall well-being. Additionally, growing these plants indoors can enhance your culinary experience, providing fresh flavors and textures to salads, sandwiches, and garnishes.

In conclusion, growing onion sprouts and microgreens indoors is a straightforward and rewarding endeavor. With the right conditions and care, you can enjoy a continuous supply of fresh greens, enhancing both your meals and your gardening skills.

The Burpee Golden Beet, a cultivar of the traditional beetroot, is distinguished by its vibrant golden-yellow flesh and sweet flavor.

The golden beet is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, making it a beneficial addition to any garden.

When cultivating Burpee Golden Beets, it is essential to consider their growing conditions. These beets thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. They prefer full sun exposure, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. The optimal planting time for golden beets is in early spring or late summer, as they are cool-season crops.

Watering is another critical aspect of growing Burpee Golden Beets. Consistent moisture is necessary, especially during the germination phase, which typically takes 5 to 10 days.

The greens of the golden beet are also edible and can be harvested and consumed as a nutritious leafy green.

In terms of pest management, Burpee Golden Beets are susceptible to common garden pests such as aphids and leaf miners. Implementing integrated pest management strategies, including crop rotation and the use of beneficial insects, can help mitigate these issues. Additionally, maintaining healthy soil through organic practices can enhance the plants' resilience against pests and diseases.
