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.
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.
I grew these last year in Mid Michigan and canned lots of sliced beets, also some pickled ones. They came out of the ground looking beautiful. Underground insects didn't bother them and they were perfect for canning after a good wash. You can't go wrong with this variety.
Excellent price great for canning. Love this brand!

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
