6. It's on me for being too lazy to start them early under lights and then not checking after the rain.

It was weirdly warm here very early, then it would get chilly and rain for a few days..... I had the maters out a bunch too. It took no time at all to harden them off this year.

I have never had any luck with beets. I might try in the fall again. Many people don't like beets, but they are much better fresh and not too big.
