Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comYou have excellent content on growing beets and I particularly like that you have a print friendly version, which for me means, easier to read. However, I hoped to understand why beets are generally referred to as Biennial if you can harvest them in 45-50 days?
I understand we are talking life-cycle, but lets say I let the beets grow until next year and they make through the summer/winter temperature swings, what is the value if any to doing so?
It seems like this life-cycle information can be somewhat useless and confusing if all I want to do it eat the beats as soon as possible.
Thanks for the well designed format of the website, this is my first, but not my last visit.

Thank you for visiting our site; we love to help gardeners!
A plant that requires two growing seasons to complete its life-cycle. Year one: vegetative growth. Year two: sexual maturity, seed production. Biennial plants require a period of cold treatment called vernalization in order to initiate flowering in the second year. Seeds can then be collected the 2nd year.
