Detroit Dark Red Beets are among the best strains available today, with deep, red flesh that's rich and very flavorful. Good for late sowings and winter storage. They're so easy to grow!

*Heirloom seeds are perfect for the backyard gardener. Let a few beets grow and flower. After the seeds from the flowers dry, gather and save for next bumper crop.

*Perfect for southern California Autumn & Winter Gardens! Grow throughout the season.

59 days to harvest. Perfectly round beets 3 inches across. Dark red, extremely sweet flesh. Medium size tops. Baby beets make excellent eating, and harvesting them helps the remaining beets grow better.

GROWING HINTS: When planting, mix beet seeds with fast-sprouting radish seeds to mark the rows.

Grows best in full sun.

Give plants at least 1 inch of water a week, and maintain a regular schedule; uneven watering can result in dry, cracked roots. As water will give you the sweet beets that you have been waiting for. Once plants are established, mulch with compost to conserve moisture and deter weeds.
Encourage rapid growth as a key, along with even moisture, to sweet-flavored beets by feeding.

**The leaves of the beets are completely edible. Can be used in a tossed salad or cooked for a wonderful warm dish.

*FREE Beat Salad Recipe Included!

Remember that the beet tops are just as tasty fried with onion, a pinch of pepper seed, and a tsp of vinegar.
