When can I harvest beet leaves for salad? My beets are 30 days old. The leaves look they are at the right size.

Hi Esther. You can use them anytime bearing in mind that the larger they grow the tougher they'll get. Remember to keep the water up to them to keep the leaves tender and to swell the beetroot itself

You can pick the leaves when they a reasonable size eg more than 10cm is good or bigger if you like it's personal choice. You wont damage the plant by picking them. great in salad or stirfry
