Park Seed Rainbow Mix Beet Seed Tape

Days to Maturity: 50 to 55
With Sow Effortless Rainbow Mix Beet Seed Tape, you will have a beet garden that looks like it was designed and grown by a professional—in less time then it would take you to make all the holes in the soil, let alone drop the seeds in, cover them up, and then thin the seedlings a few weeks later. And the fun of this mix is that its 5 varieties all look distinctive enough that you can practically identify them by their baby greens, even before they grow their big, delicious roots.
Rainbow Mix is a beet lover’s dream come true. Grow these 5 superb varieties as gourmet babies or as full-sized beets bursting with flavor. And don’t forget those nutritious beet greens, which reach their peak at about 5 to 6 inches high.
Beets are a cool-weather crop, suitable for spring, fall, and even winter in very mild climates. They tolerate a bit of frost without damage. Lay the tapes down as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer to early fall. If your spring and fall weather tends to be mild, try making succession sowings every 3 to 4 weeks for an even longer season of fresh harvests.
Bush beans, lettuce, and onions are good companions to beets in the vegetable garden, as are all the Brassica family, from broccoli and cabbage to kohlrabi and cauliflower. And if you do not care for the flavor of beet greens, be sure to chop them and plow them back into the soil, where they add valuable nutrients that will enhance next year’s crops.
