thinning beets

parker! and i used pelletized beet seed when we planted so the beets are coming up in even denser clusters than usual ( top photo ) so i overcame my instincts and thinned them a bit ( second photo )...didn't like it though...the row of turnips is doing just fine ( third photo ) and today's visit finds spinach up ( fourth photo ) and in a row no less ( fifth photo )...so the first bed of the season is well under way with cool weather crops coming in...still no sign of parsnips or dill..patience people...give th e eeds time to do the job.
