By Amy Grant Cool season beets are a fairly easy crop to grow but they can be afflicted by a number of beet growing problems. Most of these stem from insects, diseases, or environmental stressors. One such issue arises when beet plants are falling over or wilting. What are some of the reasons for a beet plant wilting and is there a solution? Help For Beet Seedlings Falling Over Seedlings can become leggy if they are started with a light source that is too far away; the beets stretch to the light, becoming leggy. The result, of course, will be that they simply can’t support themselves and you get beets that are falling over. If you see that your beet seedlings are falling over, an additional cause may be wind. Especially, if you are hardening them off outside prior to transplanting. Keep them in a protected area until they harden off
