In this video I will show thinning and transplanting beet sprouts. People often ask how and when to thin out beets in the open field. It is imperative to thin out the beets in the open field, otherwise we may even lose the crop. Thinning beets in the open field is done in several stages. The first thinning is done when the first 3-4 leaves are formed with a distance of 3 centimeters in a row. Personally, I skip this stage, since the beetroot seedlings are still small for transplantation, and I cannot throw them away. I do the second thinning and leave a distance between the beets of 6-7 centimeters in a row, in order to further pull out the beets, for example, for cooking borscht, and thus leave a distance between the remaining beets of 15 centimeters.
