Mudcat, welcome to Georgia where the soil can vary from sand to clay even in one garden plot! That's the Fall Line for ya. I'm in the Augusta area. There's rain coming in tonight and that might just trigger your beets to pop up. Sometimes it's taken two weeks for mine to come up once I started soaking them for a day before planting. If yours fail to come up after two weeks, you might consider soaking the next round of seeds for a day or two before planting.

My beets are germinating. I am growing Crosby's Egyptian, which I have never grown before, so 2 unknowns this season -- variety and weather.
Yes, I have sand and clay.... interesting soil. Very easy to dig. I assume that I will need to add plenty of fertilizer. I ordered a Soil Test Kit from UGA Extension, but I haven't completed it.
The weather is suppose to take a turn for the better just around the corner in April. I'm looking forward to that! ~Lisa
