4. Water Often
Beets need a lot of water, especially as seeds and starter plants. In fact, you will need to water them thoroughly every day until you notice the leaves begin to sprout. The soil should be completely moist at all times.
Once the seeds start to sprout leaves, you can slack off on the watering as they will absorb water from the soil. You do need to make sure that once the leaves sprout that you don’t overwater them. If the plants grow more leaves than roots, they can bolt, which means they flower but don’t produce any actual beets. Nobody wants to put a lot of time and hard work into gardening just to have it not produce anything.
Once your beets sprout, you should water them every 10 to 14 days as long as you have normal rainfall. If the season is dry, you may need to water them more often.
