I direct seeded these guys in the garden on March 23. The two pictures below show what they looked like on April 19th and May 31st.

If you look carefully at the first picture, you can just about make out the two rows of beets: one on each side of the tape measure. Then there’s a row of tiny little carrot tops in the center, and a row of sugar snap pea seedlings against the back of the bed.
In the second picture the beet and carrot tops are a foot tall and the sugar snap peas are growing over the top of the trellis.
The tape measure is there because I was thinning them out. What a tedious job that is! Even for just an eight foot row. But necessary. I made sure the carrots were spaced two inches apart and the beets, three.
I used Ferry Morse seeds for both root crops. The beets are Detroit Dark Red and the carrots are Rainbow Mix.
The beets could be harvested any time now.
The carrots are a bit small. They need another week or so in the ground.
