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.

All of the potatoes are growing beautifully! I am please with the purchasez
Thank you for fulfilling our order for red raspberry plants. I ordered 20 plants, 7 for my daughter in law’s birthday present and 13 for our new red raspberry bed. Twelve of the 13 we planted have thrown out shoots and leaves. We are patiently waiting on the 13th. Red raspberries are one of our favorite fruits and are used to make our favorite jam. We look forward to picking our own harvest.
I have had great success with all my purchases from MIGardner. The potatoes arrived timely and had plenty of eyes. I only lost one cutting to rot while skinning and the rest successfully sprouted. Very happy, the rest is up to me!
We purchased four kits and made the 3x8 variety. The process was swift and easy to perform. It can be done by one person. Our beds are filled with soil and ready for the 2025 planting season!
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!!!
