Growing Beetroot, also Beets

I've already harvested one crop of beetroot. Can I now plant another crop? Can it be in the same bed where the spring onions were?

Yes that should be fine on both counts. What I normally do with my beets (and indeed any other crop that I grown from seed direct in the garden) is place some seeds into the middle of the suggested spacing between plants once the developed crop is about two weeks away from harvest. This allows time for new seedlings to come through without taking over the space in the garden. Hope this helps
