That does look like it would work well
We haven’t started planting yet. A few have started to the west of us. A little further away from the big lake. Our ground isn’t quite dry enough yet. It’s been cold here this spring but the past couple days were a little warmer.
I tested out a couple more systems on my planter that I didn’t want to earlier. Didn’t want them to freeze hard.
Still haven’t put fertilizer in but I think I have everything else working now.
Did look at beets I planted in driveway end of March. They have a quarter inch tail.
