Growing Info
Harvesting: For early spring sowings, harvest beets before summer heat. For late summer sowings, harvest before first heavy freeze. For winter sowings in mild climates, harvest in early spring. Harvest when roots are anywhere from 1"-3" in diameter. The smaller they are, the more tender. Greens are most tender when small, so start harvesting when they are 2" tall. You can take as much as one third of a beet plant's outer leaves without harming the root crop.
- Raejean P.AZ, United StatesVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsApr 13, 2026Love these beets
April 13th 2026, Phoenix Arizona, planted Nov 16th 2025. March 7th beets are about the size of a large radish. Beets really took off after March 7th, large beets as of April 11th, started thinning them about again! Yum! So good!

Easy to grow beets. The majority of the seeds germinated in direct sowing. They do not require a lot of attention.

Beets normally do okay here, these didn't germinate like I expect even though I don't get crazy numbers of beets in a normal year. It looks like all of one color germinated, too, and nothing else.

- Carisa H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsDec 31, 2025Did well in poor soil
I love the flavors and colors of this blend, and they did well in my garden in a spot where the soil was a little dense and not so great.
Which best describes you as a gardener? ProfessionalEGEpic GardeningJan 3, 2026Hey Carisa,
Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you love the flavors and colors of the Gourmet Blend Beet Seeds and that they performed so well for you even in challenging growing conditions!
It's really impressive that these beets thrived in dense, less-than-ideal soil. Beets are generally pretty forgiving when it comes to soil conditions, but it's always exciting to hear real-world success stories like yours. That adaptability makes them such a great choice for gardeners who might be working with spots in their garden that other crops find more challenging.
The variety of flavors and colors in this blend really does make harvesting so much more interesting - there's something so satisfying about pulling up beets and never quite knowing which beautiful color combination you're going to get! From the classic deep reds to the gorgeous golden and striped varieties, each one brings its own unique taste and visual appeal to the table.
Your experience will be really helpful for other gardeners who might be hesitant to try growing beets because they're worried about their soil conditions. It's great to know these seeds can deliver great results even when the growing conditions aren't perfect!
Keep on growing 🌻️
