When to Plant in the UAE (Field Planting)

Based on local seasonal gardening guidance (e.g., typical UAE planting calendars) and long-standing agricultural observations:

• Early October — ideal for a fall/winter harvest, as temperatures begin to moderate after summer.

• Late February to March — suitable for a spring planting, before the heat rises—offering another window for growth.

These periods coincide with the UAE’s cooler planting seasons and provide optimal conditions for beet germination and root development.

Tips for Planting

• Choose a location with full sun and well-draining, loose soil

• Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter before planting

• Sow seeds directly at a depth of 1–1.5 cm, spacing seeds 5–10 cm apart

• Space rows 25–30 cm apart for good airflow

• Thin seedlings after sprouting to encourage strong root development

• Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist

• Harvest leaves from 25 days, and roots in 50–60 days, depending on size preference

• Suitable for raised beds, in-ground gardens, and large containers
