Planting: Plant seeds 1.25 cm deep in rows 30-45 cm apart. Successive sowings as late as the first of July will help you extend your harvest. Germination occurs in 1-2 weeks.

Care: Beets produce a compound seed, so each one can yield up to four sprouts. Thinning is essential for proper root formation. Thin your seedlings to 10 cm apart, and enjoy the tops as a source of tender baby greens. Ensure your plants receive consistent water during dry spells, especially as the roots begin to swell. Fertilizing will help improve the size and quality of your harvest.

Choosing this organic, improved heirloom means you are growing a reliable and beautiful crop with a deeper connection to nature. The refined uniformity of the Guardsmark variety provides a more predictable and bountiful harvest. The unique concentric rings of the raw root add a touch of art to your salads, and the sweet, peppery flavour is a true culinary discovery. Plus, you get the bonus of nutritious beet tops, making this a truly rewarding and wholesome addition to your garden.
