I'm new at gardening, so don't know much about when to plant what, etc. I ordered Beet plants not knowing it was the wrong time of year to plant them. My new granddaughter loves Beets. I was told by a local farmer that there is no way I can get Beet plants, they have to be sown by seed. Well, I got the most beautiful beet plants & they are doing very well, even in the Hilton Head hot weather! I took picture of the plants & showed them to the farmer. He could not believe his eyes! Just bought some Green Bean plants & they are doing just as well.
