You've definitely piqued my interest! I've never tried beet greens. How/when
would you recommend I harvest them?

Is it a case of letting the beetroot itself mature, then harvesting the root
and the leaves, or would you take the leaves from immature beetroot
(possibly as cut-and-come-again greens) to allow much quicker harvesting and
tighter spacing?


Either or both. Or eat the thinnings as salad or cooked greens.
