Formanova 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 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 haven't transplanted these out yet but the germination rate is 100%! I'm excited to use these in canning this year.
These are the best tasting beets imo. I grew several varieties last year, including Chioggia, and we were so impressed with Formanova that they are the only ones we are growing this year.
I’m so happy to get one more planting of beets in!

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.
I purchased several packs of seeds from MiGardener during the semi annual sale, and they did not disappoint! Nearly 100 percent germination rate on all seeds I've planted. The only thing I haven't been able to germinate is lemon grass, which I'm learning may 1 take a very long time to germinate in general and 2 need bottom heat to help them sprout. Even without being on sale 2 bucks a seed pack for the amount they give (very generous compared to other companies, I might add) is a crazy good deal. If you have been on the fence, I encourage you to give MiGardener seeds a try! Thank you Luke and team, and Happy Gardening to all!
I'm not a seasoned gardener, so I don't necessarily know what's normal or not, but out of all the seeds I planted (got about a dozen different herbs and greens from MIgardener), the fenugreek was the quickest to sprout, had the highest germination rate, and the largest sprouting leaves. I'm pretty excited to watch them grow into beautiful plants.
Gardening for over 40 years. The Trifecta very impressed has all the elements I want in a fertilizer. Next year I will buy the largest amount.
Second squash to produce for me. Picked young and the skin is very thin/easily bruises. Roasted first batch and they were a delicious mild flavor! Very soft but the roasting gave a nice crust on them. 2nd batch mixed in a stir fry and it overcooked very easily and was mushy. I like how prolific this plant is and the mild taste. Just need to make sure not to overcook. Well definitely grow again.
