How to grow beetroot in containers?

Beetroot needs a container at least 10–12 inches deep. Soak seeds overnight before sowing. Plant October–January in North India; spacing 3–4 inches after thinning. Beetroot seeds are actually clusters — multiple seedlings emerge per seed, so thin promptly. Water evenly to prevent woody roots. Varieties: Crimson Globe, Detroit Dark Red. Ready in 60–70 days. Harvest when roots are golf-ball to tennis-ball size for best flavour.
