To track fetal activity, select an hour span during the day when it's easy to pay attention to feeling the baby move. A standard guideline is that at least 10 movements within an hour should be felt. It's always good to remember that some babies are more active than others. In some cases, 10 movements may be too few. The typical activity level of the baby should be taken into account when tracking fetal activity.
Planting in Successions: Beets are the kind of crop that is best planted in small successions over a period of weeks in the spring and fall. If you plant a 25-foot row of beets all at once, you have all those beets ready for harvest all at the same time.
CORVALLIS-Beets are best planted as early as you can get into your garden, starting in March or April, about two to four weeks before the last killing frost in your area. Plant beets successively at three to four-week intervals into July and you will have a continuous supply of fresh, tender beets until autumn. Beet seeds are best planted an inch or two apart, in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Each seed is actually a dried fruit or seed ball, containing several tiny true seeds.
