Heirloom Early Wonder Tall Top Beet Seeds Planting Instructions

• Plant 2 to 4 weeks before your region's average last frost to raise an early summer crop.
• Sow Early Wonder Tall Top Beet Seeds in the late summer for a fall crop.
• Beet plants prefer full to partial sun.

Heirloom Early Wonder Tall Top Beets Harvesting Instructions

For the best flavor, harvest roots while they are 1 to 3 inches in diameter.

To minimize moisture loss in the roots, twist off the greens.

Remove dirt in water before eating the roots, globes, and leaves. Roots store well in humid, cool conditions.

Prepare leaves like spinach—either boiled, sautéed, or tossed into salad.

Greens should be eaten within 1 to 2 days of picking. They are best between 4 and 6 inches long and when the roots are less than 2 inches in diameter. Beet globes are best when picked at baseball size and can be pickled, grilled, baked, or broiled.
