FERTILITY: Till in slow release fertilizer or organic matter prior to seeding. Use a fertilizer low in nitrogen, but high in potassium and phosphorous. Keep even moisture throughout growing season. GERMINATION: 7-15 days at 55-70 F/12-21C. SPACING: Seed 2cm/ 3/4” apart and 1cm/ 1/2” deep. Thin out to 7cm/3”. PESTS: Beets are relatively free from insects and disease.   TIP: Mid-season planting for harvest in late summer or early fall will result in a sweeter and more tender beet.

Safe Seed Pledge

Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds.

 

Money back guarantee.
If you are not completely satisfied with the seeds you purchase from us, and you believe the problem to be seed related, we will gladly refund the full purchase price of the seed packet itself. Our liability, however, is limited solely to the value of the seed.
