Additional information

Early Wonder Beets are well suited to home gardens. The tall, semi-globe roots grow to a diameter of about 4-5 cm (1 1/2 – 2″). Produces beets with a nice, dark red color. This variety will also store very well.

Starting Beet Seeds

Direct sow 4 weeks after last frost to mid-summer.

Beets will not produce roots if planted when the soil is too cold.

Seeds will germinate in 5-12 days, depending on soil temperature.

Optimal soil temperature: 10-26°C (50-80°F).

Companion Planting For Beets

Beets add minerals to the soil. The greens are very good for the compost. Plant with bush beans, Brassicas, corn, garlic, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, and mint. Add cut mint leaves as a mulch for beets.

Avoid planting beets near pole beans, as the nitrogen fixed by the beans may encourage leafy beet growth and diminished root development.
