AnnualDetroit Dark Red beet is a classic heirloom variety known for its deep red, globe-shaped roots and robust flavor. The tender green tops are also edible and great for salads or sautéing. This versatile variety is ideal for roasting, boiling, or pickling, and is known for its high yields and reliable performance in the garden. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun exposure. Sow seeds 1 inch apart and thin seedlings to 3-4 inches to allow for proper root development. Consistent watering is essential for optimal growth and sweetness.
I love the Detroit Red. They are best for canning in my opinion.
Love the DDRB with cheese on bread
Sprouted quick and grew to nice size
After fencing these guys in - we enjoyed them as much as the deer!
Super delicious, perfect on a salad !
2024 was a good beet year, all varieties did well, but DDR was the favorite! Amazing color, even for a beet....

So far, everything we have purchased has had an almost 100% germination rate. And what sprouts has grown quickly and strongly. We are now big fans of MIgardener seeds!
I’ve had issues trying to germinate seeds bought from big box stores. Come to find out they are old and a waste of money. MI Gardener seeds are fresh, germinate quickly and stay good for years. My Pablo lettuce is still growing and I look forward to harvesting and eating it!
Love this green tomato! I almost missed the ripeness window because I didn’t realize that it would get the sweetest tinge of pink. (I thought it was a red tomato that was just starting to turn color, until I squeezed it!) The flavor is fresh and mild and sweet—and the color is beautiful.
Finally blooming this September to the point I’m harvesting to create soothing balms with glorious colored blooms!
I had great success with the Red Acre Cabbage. Every plant produced a nice sized head, and each weighed at least 2 pounds. The taste is great and slightly sweet. I will definitely grow this again.
