Thanks so much for this video. Answered so many questions. Never had luck with beets. Zone 5 mountain growing tricky in the fall...when would you start them if frost came unpredictably in September. We love the greens mostly. And, what is that awesome watering system on wheels you use. Only collect rain water from barn...tired of carrying water around. Need ideas! Thanks

Thanks webcajun. I had a great beet year thanks to this video, Thanks again.. Rob from Canada Eh..

@noshoes ... : ) .....Donald

"They gonna come up" love it!

@webcajun That's fantastic!!! Thanks very much! I love your videos...

@blunosr ... Go to my web site (video page) and check out the section on Stevens Tractor. I also have those videos on the 2010 Season DVDs. The videos show how to adjust the tools and how I use them in the garden. Hope it helps…….Donald

Thanks Donald, I always love seeing your videos. I hope one day to have a good garden... I do have a little (40ac) farm, and a tractor like yours. I'd love to see some more videos of how you use your tractor and implements. Thanks,

@webcajun Sorry to hear that.

@GospelTruth37059 ... I don't always plant when I'm supposed to so I'd give em a try. You never know they may do just fine.......Donald

@webcajun I ordered some beet seeds but im a little further north than you ((TN)) so dont know if i can still plant for this fall or if its too late?

@jamisonbrooks ... I applied fertilize before planting. If not careful too much fertilizer will burn the young plants. As far as coming up faster, I don't think that makes much difference.......Donald

relay in formativ video loved it but do you ever use mg once they come up. i heard the hier nitrogen in the soil makes beets com up faster is it true

@webcajun haha its funny you say that... i use them sometimes to help me fall asleep at night when i cant seem to get to sleep.

@babylonoise ... You got me, it’s all PhotoShop. “I only know black soil with a lot of fresh organic matter to be fertile.” You’ve been reading too many books from the self proclaimed experts. : ) ……Donald

@Deereyes45 ... I know just as many people who don't like em as those that do. Think you should try some pickled first. : ) ......Donald
