Beets are the only root crop that I know of, that you CAN start indoors and transplant. That's how I've been doing it last year and this year. My transplanted beets always do better than my direct seeded beets. I plant one seed per cell and then thin to the one strongest seedling per cell. Then transplant the entire cell, without disturbing the starter mix, into it's planting hole. Works for me.
