Selection by region

Different weather conditions prevail on the vast territory of Russia, so it is impossible to give universal recommendations. Beet growers advise focusing primarily on the long-term weather calendar. If forecasters indicate that at the time set for planting, the air will be warmed up enough and frosts are not expected, you can count three weeks from the expected date and start planting seeds for seedlings.

For a complete clarification, you can see which zodiac sign the scheduled date falls on. It should not be forgotten that preparing seeds for sowing will also take some time, which should be calculated when determining when to plant beets for seedlings in 2022 according to the lunar calendar and by region.

Key recommendations:

in the North - under the covering material in May, for seedlings in late April - early May, in the ground - in June;
in central Russia - late March-early April, in the soil - from mid-May to the second decade of June;
the southern regions can be engaged in seedling beets from March, but in the first decade of May, it is already possible to plant seeds in open soil or transplant ready-made hardened sprouts.

Varietal characteristics are of great importance, especially in regions with a cold climate. Breeders have bred early-ripening, ultra-early, mid-ripening, late-ripening varieties. The first two categories are ideal for cold climates, but can also be used in the south for commercial cultivation. For your needs, you can do without unnecessary complications.
