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.
You can plant your beet seeds 3 weeks before your last frost date, and again about 2 weeks after the frost date for a second crop. Your seeding and spacing are somewhat dependent on how you plan on using your beets. For a root-only harvest at the end of the season, you should plant a few seeds every 6 inches. After theyâve sprouted, thin down to one plant in a spot. Your seeds should only be about 1/2 inch deep in the soil. Be aware that most purchased beet seeds are actually in little clumps of several seeds.
