Early Wonder Top Beets
Planting Instructions:
For the best results, plant the seeds 3-4 weeks before the average last frost.
Tip: To encourage germination, soak the seeds for 24 hours before planting.
After planting, water the seeds every two weeks.
At 35 days, the "baby greens" can be harvested. At 45 days, the full leaf greens can be harvested, and at 55 days the roots are ready for harvest.
Eat beet tops before any sign of wilting for maximum flavor. In most cases, the smaller the beet, the sweeter the beet, and the larger the beet, the more earthy the beet will taste.
