beets

the beet seeds i have planted inn the past tended to be clusters of seeds that sprouted multiple plants in ta small area requiring a good deal of thinning so when i saw the ferry-morse "planting strip" i thought i would give it a try since it is supposed to cut down on the thinning business...simple to use, i spread it out in a shallow (1" deep) trench and covered it up with soil and watered it thoroughly...i still have the second strip that was in the package and if it works well there will be more beets later...more on this as it develops ( or doesn't ).
