Beta vulgaris This old-fashioned, rich-flavored beet has cylindrical roots especially good for uniform, even slicing. Grows up to 6” long and 2 inches in diameter with tasty tops for greens. Harvest in 55-60 days. Plants 25 foot row. 4g. Light Full sun Row spacing 12 inches Plant spacing 4 inches Planting depth 1/2 inch Days to germination 10-14 Plant height 8 inches Gardener's Notes: Start outdoors in early spring in full sun after frost danger is over and as soon as soil can be worked. In mild climates plant again in early fall for a late crop. Sow seeds in well-drained soil 2 inches apart, firm soil well over seeds and keep evenly moist. Carefully thin young seedlings several times, so final spacing is 4 inches apart. For sweetest flavor do not let plants dry out.
