I’ve always been one to thin my vegetable seedlings, beetroot included. I have found over the years that plants do better if they’re not competing with resources (sun, water, nutrients). Thinned plants are usually a little more resilient from bug attacks.
In this episode I chat about my latest experiment with not thinning beetroots, along with some tips for growing them.
