Hi guys, my first post here and I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to gardening, my only other experiences have been a couple of seasons growing chillies and tomatoes.
I am having my first bash at growing beetroot this year and I have planted the seeds in some left over jiffy plugs. I understand that the seeds can produce more than one shoot per seeds which explains my multiple seedlings in each plug, my question is though can each one of these shoots viably produce a beetroot or should I just keep the best of the bunch? The seedlings are getting a bit leggy now, maybe a couple of inches tall with fairly small leaves still and are falling over a bit, how deep should I plant these seedlings when planting them out? I'm used to planting down to the seedling leaves when growing chillies, is this appropriate for beetroot too?
Sorry for all the newbie questions but as you have probably gathered I have no idea what I'm doing as of yet
