Beet, Shiraz, Beta vulgaris (60 days) Fast growing; big-tops, smooth round, red roots with outstanding vigor. The sweet, dark red roots are incredibly smooth due to their disease r esistance. Our best beet for roasting, boiling or canning! As a result of multiple rounds of vigorous selection by ace farmer, Randy Carey of Williams Creek Organics in Oregon, in conjunction with plant breeder John Navazio, they are quite Rhizoctonia-resistant, which helps to ensure beautiful smooth roots. Further Selection done by farmer Bill Reynolds of Eel River Produce in Humbodlt county, CA. An excellent fresh market strain- soon to become a choice heirloom of the future! Packet:(1.5 g. ≈ 200 seeds) Bulk: one ounce = (about 2,100 seeds) * Picture of farmer Bill Reynolds & plant breeder John Navazio by Moria Peters Show more
