It should be noted that such crops have a positive effect on the quality of vegetables. First, during this period the seeds naturally harden, which means the plant will be less likely to get sick.

It should be noted that it is not necessary to allocate many beds for planting beets in the fall. Grown vegetables will not be able to be stored for a long time, such tubers will need to be eaten in the summer.
Beets should be sown in October-November. By this time, the earth’s temperature will drop to + 2 °. The air temperature should be at about 0 °.
Beets should be planted on an elevated area, which receives a lot of sunlight. An excellent option would be to sow beets in beds where zucchini, cucumbers, or onions are used to grow. But after the carrots or cabbage beets should not be planted – a rich harvest, in this case, will not be.
