AnnualDetroit Dark Red beet is a classic heirloom variety known for its deep red, globe-shaped roots and excellent flavor. This beet matures in about 55-60 days, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. 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. The vibrant green tops are also edible, perfect for salads and sautéing. Detroit Dark Red beets are versatile and ideal for roasting, boiling, or pickling, offering both high yields and robust flavor.
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....
Germinated quickly and good sized beets
I am not a beet lover but my Dad had been talking about the pickled beets that his grandmother had made when he was a kid. The description of the Detroit Deep Red Beet sounded closest. I grew them and then followed the pickled beet recipe from the USDA. He said that it was exactly what he remembered and the best that he had ever had. I would include a photo but he has eaten them all.

This spinach is awesome. I winter sowed it in Feb 2025 in some gallon jugs and deep lettuce containers. It came up great. Transplanted to a raised bed in April Although the leaves are huge, they are super tasty. So far, I am loving your seeds. Would buy again!!!
These were cut on April 22nd and planted April 23, 2025. They came up on May 4th. I'm in central SD, zone 4b. Next year, I'll get more!
Hard to leave a review just planted them.. but over all I was pleased when they arrived ❤️
I wasn't sure it would survive when I planted it, but it is growing. Very happy with my purchase
I immediately set this plant outside to begin hardening off. After about 2 weeks, I planted it in it's dedicated grow bag until I get a more permanent planter, and I must say it is living life. It has grown so much since I received it. I believe I'm going to remove the blossoms this year to continue promoting healthy growth.
