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.
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.

I've been using Trifecta for over a year with amazing results. It's so simple! Apply once or twice a season and that's it.
Trifecta has been my trusted partner in the garden for my vegetables and to start my dahlias. Thank you MI Gardener team!
Fantastic Zucchini!! Very tender tasty and huge :)))
As described. Good germination.
We have nice fertile soil in our greenhouse and able to control those pesty little flea beetles that can decimate eggplants foliage. I've been keeping them under control with DE and my eggplants are massive in size, about 3-4 feet tall with 1 foot lower leaves.
The eggplants fruit are developing nicely, nearly doubling in size daily. There are plenty of blossoms too. We're expecting that we won't need to grow more for a few years, we're planning on freeze drying most if them.
