Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Beets are easily grown; they prefer deep, loose soil and even, moderate water. Mulch once established to protect the roots from heat.
Planting & Growing: Soak seeds for at least 12 hours before planting to promote germination. Space 2" for greens, 3" for summer harvest beets, and 4" for storage growing beets. Tolerates light shade.
Harvesting & Storage: For best flavor, harvest roots while they are 1"-3". To minimize moisture loss in the roots, twist off the greens. Roots store well in humid, cool conditions. Greens should be eaten within 1 or 2 days of picking.

I planted these in a garden bed that didn't have very good soil, and they grew anyway!
I'm fairly new at gardening, and recently learned I could plant a fall garden in Western NY. I ordered these seeds to see how successful I would be. I soaked the seeds as directed, and planted them in my garden last week. After a week of traveling, I came back to find a bounty of plants growing! My early season beets were fantastic, so we decided to try these for the fall garden. I'm hoping I can get a good harvest before the snow arrives.
Beets arrived on time and I have not had a chance to plant but I am a fan of how the Detroit reds did so I'm expecting good things!
I am raised-bed gardening for the first ever time this year and am so excited to finally be able to grow root vegetables! These were one of the very first ones I picked out to try. I will update this review again later when the beets are fully grown! The description on the package sounds delicious! (from Santa Rosa, California)
It's mid-February in the Willamette Valley and I've sown lots of my spring/summer veggies. These golden beets came up really quickly in my trays and have really pretty yellow/orange stems and healthy-looking leaves. Hope I can update to review the taste in a couple months!
