Description
Ruby Queen’s easy-to-grow plants adapt well to poor soil and stand up to crowding. Beets are deep crimson and uniform inside and out, with a deep, buttery flavor. A dependable choice for eating fresh, canning, or pickling. It won an All America Selections award in 1957.
Start beets outdoors in loose, well drained soil in early spring as soon as soil can be worked, or up to six weeks before fall frost. Beets prefer a cool climate and can tolerate mild frost. Plant seed every few weeks for continuous harvest. Keep soil moist for best growth, easy harvest, and sweetest flavor.
