| These were about the best beets I've tasted. I will definitely plant again. Be sure to plant lots of seeds, as germination rate was low and many seedlings did not survive after transplanting. Also will try drip irrigation next time as they didn't receive consistent moisture last season. |

| To increase the rate of germination, plant in warm soil or water in the seeds with hot water when you plant them. Both roots and greens have nice flavor. |

| Very poor production: poor germination and weak seedlings. Beets are very tasty. Greens are tasty & beautiful (light green with golden stems). Worth growing, but it better not be the ONLY beet variety you plant (or you'll go hungry). |

| I think I must have gotten less than 20% germination with these. Taste was ok, but not very sweet. Looks good on the plate, though. |

| IF they germinate they do fine. Beautiful flesh and leaves but LOW germination for us. We still plant them though.
People who don't love beets like these. |
