AnnualFormanova beet is a distinctive variety renowned for its elongated, cylindrical roots and vibrant red color. It is also known as "butter slicer" due to its wonderful texture. This beet matures in about 55-65 days, offering a sweet, earthy flavor perfect for slicing and uniform cooking. Due to their unique shape, Formanova beets are easy to harvest, reducing waste and maximizing yield. The nutritious greens can be harvested young for salads or cooked dishes, making Formanova a versatile addition to any garden.
Excellent germination, beautiful vegetables, frost time fall gardener.
Better luck transplanting than usual. Still just sprouts tho
I haven't planted yet..I am going to plant this week end and see how far I can get before hard winter sets in.
I haven't used these, yet, but all the seeds I've bought from here have been great! In fact, unless it's something he doesn't sell, I buy all my seeds from MIgardener. (Jimmy Nardello peppers...hint, hint).
Love these beets for steaming and pickling. Easy to jar when slices are more even.

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
