Botanical Interests - Avalanche Beet Seeds

These sweet beets have a mild flavor that can make a beet lover out of anyone. A 2015 All-America Selections winner with 2"-3" creamy white, round roots. An added bonus, white beets don't stain your hands, cutting board, soups, or stews red. Keep roots covered with soil or mulch for best color and flavor. Disease resistant to Cercospora and leaf spot.

For early spring sowings, harvest beets before summer heat. For late summer sowings, harvest before first heavy freeze. For winter sowings in mild climates, harvest in early spring. Harvest when roots are anywhere from 1"-3" in diameter. The smaller they are, the more tender. Greens are most tender when small, so start harvesting when they are 2" tall. You can take as much as one third of a beet plant's outer leaves without harming the root crop.
