Hi, im growing Burpees Golden, Detroit dark red, Albina Vereduna &
Italian beetroot Chioggia for my mum...
Its been over a month now and Burpees Golden and i think mostly all the
others as well started to split at the roots ( found on the web its Main
causes Irregular watering and rain). Im still trying to figure out how
to water them :( . It took me a few years to grow perfect heirloom
tomatoes without blossom end rot. So when it comes to edible foods im
not that good at growing. They are in small pots & im watering them
every monday & friday. My problem is that after over a month all my
Gloden ones
and others split & im growing them just for my mum & i wanted to
surprise her :( . Are they still edible please? Or because my mum boils
them all the vitamins will come out since they are now split? They are
not rooting just split. they are also only about 1 cms wide the roots
for me dont know how by Christmas they will be ready to eat beet root
size. Please help :'( . Really want to know if split beetroots still
edible? & That i didnt just waste all this time :'C -
A couple months ago I started growing them for microgreens. The leaves on some of them got huge fast. I live in sw Florida. I couldn't believe how easy they were to grow. I wish I would have started years ago. They are great in salads.

I use beets to make beet kvass and stir fry or boil the leaves.

We are used to adding a small piece of beetroot to mixed vegetables for extracting juice. Especially carrot tomato concoction
-
never mind steaming - great in salads
-
Beetroot - yum!

This woman has no idea what she is talking about. Organic definitely uses pesticides.
-
I just planted some chioggia beets. Check for a video coming soon!
-
I boil and eat the beet leaves

her head looks like a beet

That "compost" looks like its mostly wood chips which can actually rob the soil of nitrogen.
-
As well as those little "nubbies" as long as you gently pull them they CAN be replanted...
-
Wrong info about organics. They do use fertilizer and pesticides. USDA organic standards are a joke.

Actually that is NOT correct. They did not used to eat chard as beets or instead of beets. They used to grow beets but did not know they could eat the beet root so they just ate the leaves, then later on they found out they could actually eat the beet root as well, not just the leaves. Swiss chard is something totally different and was eating as chard or as a spinach and it was known as chard, not beet leaves. We have also ALWAYS had organic beets because organic is any vegetable that has been grown without any chemicals or pesticides, it was just never sold in stores except for the last 20 years on a larger scale and was sold in the 70's in very few shops. The perfect beet? How about changing your deceptive and time wasting title. You absolutely showed nothing but generic info on growing beets, nothing about growing perfect beets and not even growing organic sine you used an all purpose fertilizer. As usual a time wasting video claiming to be about gardening.
