How Do I Know When My Beets Are Ready To Harvest?
Beets are ready to harvest when the root is 1-3 inches in diameter and the foliage is 12-18 inches tall. To check if the beet is the right size, gently brush away some of the soil at the top of the root, making sure not to damage the root itself. If the beet is the desired size, it is ready to be harvested.
