Harvest when the roots are 3 inches in diameter 

Dig under the beet and pull it from it’s top to get it out of the ground

Beets do not produce seeds until their second year of growth

Save a few beets in your fridge to replant the next spring

Plant them when it is spring again but make sure they are away from any other beet plants

Wait until the seeds turn from green to brown

Cut off 4 inches at the top and save this in a cool dry place so the seeds can ripen

When they ripen, the seeds can be removed from the leaves or pounded off
