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.

Detroit Red's are the hardiest beets in the world in my opinion. I'm originally from Ireland and the beets are more longated compared to American round variety. The Detroit red have a great eathy taste.

They're easy to cook too. I cook them in the microwave just like a potato. I clean them, poke a few holes in them, place them in a bowl (so the juice doen't stain anything) and microwave them four plus minutes.

They're easy to peel with a paper towel after microwaving. I also like to cook a few pounds at a time in a preasure cooker. Fast and easy.

Cheers,
