All will do well ...provided that you water them always with very dilute NPK solution...

as per your advice i went to buy npk 19:19:19.. however to realise later i had been sold 18:36:24 or probably something same but it certainly does not have equal ratio and the p is more than n.. should i use it or buy 19:19:19?

2 teaspoon of 18:36:24 in 5 litre water will give you:

Nitrogen = 360 ppm
Phosphate = 720 ppm
Potash = 480 ppm

By addition on 1 teaspoon of urea in this solution will give you additional 460 ppm Nitrogen so total Nitrogen will be 820 ppm. Use this solution for watering.

first time beets.. did not grow as expected.. probably the ground wasnt hoed well.. probably some other reason.. however the common factor in all the beets was that very few formed a bulb others grew like a plant with a pinched stem at the root level.. neither did they but they certainly did not form any tubers..

plot of land growing saag, methi, coriander, broccoli (currently have approx. 20 plants, 5 already flowering, it is going to be a bounty if all goes well), beets (clumps of seedlings are growing, will have to separate/thin unwanted to make space for others, a lengthy and boring chore), the border kyaries have dahlias, mesembry and calf. poppy all doing well...
