Love these beets!
These beets were perfect for my small raised bed garden. This was my first try at beets and I'll never forget them again. Great flavor, germinated well and have superb greens. The only drawback I had was the variance in sizes. They're not big beets but some were really small. That could have been something I did so I won't blame the beets. I will still grow these again, regardless of the size.
