Touchstone Gold Beet is the sweetest beet that you’ll ever eat! Touchstone Gold Beet develops smooth, golden, globe-shaped roots that can be up to 3 inches in diameter. In addition to their sweet roots, Touchstone Gold Beet’s greens are incredibly tender and delicious. Even better, Touchstone Gold Beet fruits won’t stain your hands when you cut or peel them! 

Touchstone Gold Beet Care  

Sow seeds 2-4 weeks before the last frost when soil temperature is 45 - 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant out starts after the last frost. Successional plantings can be made every two weeks up until mid-summer. For a fall crop, sow seeds 6-8 weeks before the first frost. Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2-inch deep every 4 inches with rows 12 inches apart. Plant out transplants to the same spacing. Thin plants to 4 inches apart if needed. Touchstone Gold Beet prefers to be planted in a full-sun location in well-drained, sandy loam soil high in organic matter with a pH between 6.5-7. 

Growing Touchstone Gold Beet 

Touchstone Gold Beet takes 85 days from the time of germination to harvest. Plants will require at least 5 hours of sunlight a day to grow. Touchstone Gold Beets will grow up to 12 - 18 inches tall. If starting seeds indoors, sow seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost.  

Touchstone Gold Beets do well in pots on their own or in mixed containers as the filler feature. Grow several Touchstone Gold Beet plants in a 16-inch pot; increase the pot size depending on the number of plants you’re growing, allowing about 4 inches per plant. 

Watering Touchstone Gold Beet  

Touchstone Gold Beet likes moist, well-drained soil. Beets need an inch of water per week; water thoroughly if precipitation is not sufficient. 

Feeding Touchstone Gold Beet  

Plant Touchstone Gold Beets in soil high in organic matter for best performance. Touchstone Gold Beets will also benefit from application of a 5-10-10 fertilizer every week or two.
