Why is it called Early Wonder beet?
Early Wonder is an early-maturing heirloom prized for producing tender roots and abundant, upright greens quickly. It is a great pick for a fast first beet crop and for cool-season gardening.
How fast does Early Wonder mature?
Roots are usually ready in about 45-55 days, and the tops can be harvested even sooner as tender greens. Its speed makes it well suited to short seasons.
When should I sow the seeds?
Direct sow 2-3 weeks before your last spring frost, 1/2 inch deep. Its early nature makes it ideal for spring and again for a fall crop.
Are the greens worth growing?
Yes. Early Wonder is known for its lush, glossy tops, which are excellent cooked like chard or used young in salads, in addition to the sweet roots.
How many seeds come in a packet?
Each packet contains approximately 350 seeds, a generous amount for repeat plantings of both greens and roots.
Is Early Wonder heirloom and non-GMO?
Yes. Early Wonder is an open-pollinated heirloom, and all our seeds are non-GMO so you can save seed from your own crop.
What makes Early Wonder special?
It is one of the earliest beets and produces exceptionally abundant, tender greens along with sweet roots.
Are the greens edible?
