Start to harvest as microgreens in just 15 days
Mature roots in: 55 days

Description:
Beautiful deep orange roots are oval shaped with a rich golden flesh accented by rings of pale yellow throughout. Roots are tender and sweet with a milder flavor than red beets. Even the pale green tops with golden veins are delicious! Grown as microgreens, they make a great accent with Bull’s Blood Beets.

SOWING:
For mature roots and greens, sow seed outside as soon as soil can be worked in spring or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seed 2 inches apart and cover with 1/2 inch of fine soil and water well.

THINNING:
When plants are 3 to 4 inches tall, thin to 5 to 6 inches apart. Eat your thinnings in a salad!

GERMINATION:
Germinates in 14 to 21 days depending on soil temperature and weather conditions.

REMARKS:
Each beet seed (truly a cluster) can produce 2 to 3 seedlings which makes them perfect for microgreens. When sowing for microgreens, allow 1/2 inch between each seed. Press the seeds firmly into the soil and cover with a paper towel. Water daily through the towel until the seeds germinate. Harvest at the seedling stage.
