Beets are surprisingly easy to grow in Central Texas as the weather cools. My favorite varieties of beets to grow here include Chiogga beets, Golden beets, and Detroit Dark Red beets.

When Is Beets and Carrots Season in Central Texas?
Beets, like carrots, love cooler weather and are typically grown in the spring and fall, our favorite times to garden here in Austin. Beets actually sprout best when the soil temps are above 50°F and below 80°F.

Where to Grow Beets
Plant your beets somewhere they’ll receive at least 6 to 8 hours of sun each day. We love growing beets in raised-bed vegetable gardens for two reasons:
- Beets don’t do very well in clay-heavy soils, which is what we mostly have in this region. Raised beds allow you to start with nutrient-rich soil that drains well.
2. Raised beds give beets room to really put down some roots and stay awhile.
