The Early Wonder Tall Top Organic Heirloom Beet has 16 tops, tinged with maroon, that makes excellent greens that are high in vitamin content. It matures early and bunches well for home and market. Early Wonder is a good all around beet that also pickles well. It can be sown in early spring up to mid summer for storage. Beets grow best in loose, deep soil that's high in nutrient rich organic material. Plant seed 12 to 1 deep, spaced 4 to 5 apart. The rows should be 12 to 16 apart. It is best to thin plants, if crowded, when they are a few inches tall. When they reach 6 in height, mulch the plants to shade the soil and retain moisture. The beets will be ready for harvesting anytime the roots are large enough.
