So beets need to be planted when its cool? I have my first garden this year and am not sure when everything gets planted. Lol! :))

well, that's optimum, but you see the germination is set at 30-90 degrees F. So as long as the temp is in that range the seeds will sprout. I just planted new seeds a few weeks ago and they sprouted nicely. I think they just like cooler weather better. On very hot days the leaves wilt, but when the sun goes down they spring back up. If it's seriously hot (above 90) then I go out and put an umbrella over them just to give them some shade.
