What is what do beetroot look like when ready to harvest?

When beetroots are ready to harvest, look for the following:

  • Size: The size of the beetroot%20root is a primary indicator. Most varieties are ready when the root is 2-3 inches in diameter. However, this can vary based on the specific cultivar. Check your seed packet for the expected size.

  • Visible shoulders: The top%20of%20the%20root (the "shoulder") will be visible above the soil line. A good portion of the beetroot should be showing.

  • Greens: While the greens are edible and can be used as an indicator, they're not always reliable. Check the root%20size primarily. However, if the greens are looking tired or begin to yellow, it might be a sign to harvest, even if the root is a bit smaller.

  • Days to maturity: Refer to the "days to maturity" information on your seed%20packet. This is a good general guideline for when to start checking for readiness.
