I planted these beets in early spring, and they grew perfectly! The seeds sprouted quickly and produced deep red, tender beets. The flavor was amazing�so sweet and earthy. Definitely a great addition to my garden!
These beet seeds germinated faster than expected and produced an excellent harvest. I love the dark red color of the roots and how easy they were to grow. Great for any gardener looking for a reliable beet variety.
These beets exceeded my expectations! The roots grew large and had a vibrant color. The taste was exceptional too�sweet with just a hint of earthiness. Definitely ordering more for next season!
The beets grew well, but I noticed a few cracked roots toward the end of the season. Still, the flavor was wonderful, and they were easy to harvest. Just wish they stayed a bit more intact.
The seeds germinated well, but I did find that the plants grew a bit slower than I expected. However, when they did mature, the beets were large and very healthy. Worth the wait for the harvest!
