Ruby Queen Beet
From Hudson Valley Seed Company. Purchased in 2023.
Description and growing instructions below from Hudson Valley Seeds.
Fit for a queen.
The benevolent ruler of the ruby red beet kingdom. Ruby Queen is a reliable, round, rich beet with a tendency toward slight "hips" in its shape. A classic beet similar to Detroit Dark Red.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS.
Succession sow starting 1-2 weeks before last frost. Ruby Queen Beets prefer fertile, weed-free soil for formation of large roots. Thin young seedlings to one every two inches, then pull out every other beet to enjoy at the baby stage. Leave later sowings in ground for harvest through November, then pick and store in plastic bags in fridge, where they'll last in great shape for months.
