Why haven't my beetroot grown?

[balaji27]

Hello Team,

Would you please advise why my beets haven't grown big? what I could have done right? Please refer to the pics.

Thanks - Balaji.

When did you plant your beetroot @balaji27?

The Bunnings guide How to grow beetroot suggests you should pick about two to three months after planting.

Thanks Jason for sharing the guide. It's been more than 2 months now I have sown the seeds. So I was just curious to know whether it has grown or not, so I pulled one beet out (the pic I shared) because I saw its head.

Thanks

Balaji.

Looks like you might have gone a little early @balaji27.

Let me tag @Grub80 and @mich1972 for their thoughts on growing beetroot.

Good morning @balaji27  looking good. Just need to give them more time 😃🌿

Hi @balaji27 @mich1972 just a little early, mine have grown all summer long, nearly ready to harvest. I’ll take a picture when they’re ready 👍

Thanks for the guidance @Grub80 , @mich1972 , @Jason .

I agree I became a bit impatient and plucked one out. I will wait for the rest to grow.
