In the past few years, I have been having trouble planting beets correctly. Two years ago, they were too crowded, and thinning took forever. Last year, I spaced the seeds much farther apart (two to three inches). There were a few empty spots, but the beets still grew thick, just like weeds. Some did not germinate, and that left holes in the planting area. How do I prevent this?
