They grow best in full sunlight to partial shade and prefer rich, moist, and well-drained soil. In shady areas, they take longer to mature to a harvestable size. Beets are an early-spring crop that can be grown for a second time in midsummer to produce a maximum harvest. The best part about beets is that their roots as well as leaves are edible, ensuring exceptional productivity from small spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While planting beets, sow the seeds directly in the ground for best results, as transplanting can disturb its roots. Space the plants from 2 to 3 inches apart. Beets usually take 50 to 80 days after sprouting till the harvest. The harvest is ready when the plants are 1.5 to 3 inches in diameter. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f72e76 subhead-img-txt-num e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"1f72e76\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d84e49 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"1d84e49\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b05c89 mt-num-h3-top e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"4b05c89\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0205fe sec-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a0205fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad40ca8 sec1-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ad40ca8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Broccoli\"><\/span>Broccoli<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7767c4f header2-open-img elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7767c4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardening-website.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/assets\/blogs\/Broccoli+webp\/stock-photo-hands-cupping-a-fresh-broccoli-plant-in-home-garden-healthy-eating-super-food-vegetables-1785802799.webp\" title=\"\" alt=\"broccoli head ready to be harvested\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58a3b90 header2-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58a3b90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Varieties: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everst,\u00a0 Marathon, Heritage, Liberty, Sultan, Triathlon, Patriot, Signal,\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Life Cycle:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Biennial, Perennial<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broccoli can be sown in spring or autumn as a cool-season crop, but growing broccoli in the autumn is typically simpler due to the cooler temperatures. Broccoli performs best when grown in full sun in nitrogen-rich, alkaline soil with good drainage. After flowering, remove the flowering stems when the blooms begin to develop seed pods. This will save the plant&#8217;s energy or resources for more leafing up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeds or stem cuttings can be used to propagate the plant. It takes around 50 to 85 days after planting, for the crowns to get ready for harvesting. Spring-planted broccoli should be harvested when temperatures are regularly between 60 and 65\u00b0F during the day to avoid bolting. Broccoli is a frost-tolerant plant, although the larger crowns of fall-planted broccoli should be harvested before a strong freeze.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Related: <a href=\"http:\/\/Related: Growing onions in containers\" data-wplink-url-error=\"true\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing broccoli in containers<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85e7381 subhead-img-txt-num e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"85e7381\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30b4915 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"30b4915\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2220df2 mt-num-h3-top e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"2220df2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db03899 sec-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db03899\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-095fffe sec1-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"095fffe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carrot\"><\/span>Carrot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-deb9ec1 header2-open-img elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"deb9ec1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardening-website.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/assets\/blogs\/Carrots+WEBP\/stock-photo-woman-holding-a-freshly-dug-carrots-locavore-movement-local-farming-harvesting-concept-3.webp\" title=\"\" alt=\"an organic gardener holding freshly harvested carrots\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2bfec6 header2-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e2bfec6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Varieties<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Big Shot, Choctaw, Navajo, Sugar Snax, Candy Stix,\u00a0 Vita-Sweet, SCR 7180,\u00a0 Caropak, SCR 7248, Cheyenne,\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Life Cycle:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Annual, Biennial<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carrots are also one of the best vegetables to grow in Texas.

To produce a mature crop before the autumn frost, onions in cold climates must be started within 10 to 12 weeks before the average last frost date or started from sets or bulbs. Plant seeds 34 inches deep in loose, moist soil, whether indoors or outdoors. After seedlings emerge in the garden, thin them to 3-4 inches apart. Transplant seeds started indoors in the garden a few weeks before the normal last frost date\u2014onions may withstand mild frost.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Related: <a
