How fast do beet seedlings grow?

Chris

I planted a row of beet seeds almost 3 weeks ago and they all popped up within 4-7 days. However, they've done almost nothing since then. Do they slow down after sprouting? Could all the rain we've gotten recently be affecting them?

I'm trying to figure out if their growth is stunted for some reason and if I should start over. They're in raised beds that have a mix of manure, peat, and organic soil mix from Home Depot. The reviews of the "soil" on HD's website are pretty low, mostly complaining that the consistency is more wood chip than soil. I figured I'd be ok since I mixed equal parts of the other stuff. I've also noticed a number of spider mites running around in the bed.

Any thoughts?
