Description

These novel coloured roots turn from orange to gold-yellow when cooked. A very rapid grower that retains its sweet flavour when quite large. Ideal for pickles, very tender and mild.

Planting Instructions
Seed as early as possible in spring. Plant seed 1/2 in. deep in rows 18 in. apart. Once plants are up, thin to 2-4 in. apart. Use thinned plants for steamed greens, which are extremely high in vitamins. Make repeat plantings during summer. Young beets have a better quality. For a good crop of beets for winter storage make sure you do a seeding mid-summer. 
To Harvest: When the root tops begin to push up above the ground, carefully remove the soil around one of them to to check size. Best size is 2 in. diameter. Pull the roots out of the ground, do not dig them up. Leave an inch of stem on root to prevent “bleeding” when cooking.
