Growing Info

Harvesting: 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.

    Your seeds always perform well. The ones you are inquiring about are popping up. The sweet peas are really getting going, hopefully I will have flowers by Christmas.

    I love your video tips and tutorials, and I trust your products. I wish I could afford the raised beds. My only caveat with your company is the high cost of S&H. It has stopped me from placing orders several times.

    These did not germinate well at all, we did not get any yield. Having said that we had some very strange weather so I don't blame the seeds.
