ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Description

Home-grown beets are simply the best. Tender and delicious, these 2½"–3" beautiful, deep crimson beets do not get woody as do smaller varieties if allowed to grow large. Perfect for pickling, roasting, and even raw in salads! The greens rival chard and spinach for tenderness and flavor, and are very nutritious. Beet seed is actually a dried fruit with 1 to 5 seeds in each fruit, so make sure to thin.

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.

Features

  • The standard for beets since 1892. Tender, buttery-sweet, nutritious root vegetable. The greens are tasty and packed with iron.
  • Frost-tolerant biennial grown as an annual
  • When to sow inside, not recommended. Root disturbance delays maturity.
  • 21 days to emerge
  • Space 1 seed every 4"
  • Maturity in 60 days
  • When to sow outside, recommended 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 45 degrees F, ideally 60 degrees F, for early summer crop. 6 to 8 weeks before your average first fall frost date for late summer/fall crop. In mild climates sow fall through winter.
