Description
Wetsel Seed™ Crosby's Egyptian Beet Seed
1/2lb
The round, deep red roots are tender, delicious and sweet and can be served at all stages of growth. The young leaves make delicious greens. Beets are very easy to grow and prefer cool weather, though they tolerate a wide range of conditions.
Select sunny, well-drained location and sow seed as soon as the ground can be worked. Repeat at 3 week intervals until late summer. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and smooth with rake. Great in containers and sunny flower beds. Firm soil over seed. Keep soil moist, weed free, and apply vegetable food every 4 weeks. Pull individual plants when roots are about 2 in./5 cm. across.
