Early Wonder Tall Top
45 days. These early bunching beets can be harvested young with tops attached for bunched baby beets. Large, bright green, red-veined leaves are also great as early salad greens. Slightly flattened beets are dark red and sweet. Sow every few weeks for a continuous supply.
Golden Beet
55 days. Attractive orange roots turn yellow when cooked and do not bleed like red beets. The roots are at their sweetest when small but taste good when fully mature as well. Tops are bright green with yellow stems and when small, make a beautiful addition to salad mixes. Highly recommended for market.back to top
