Growing instructions
Succession sow starting 1-2 weeks before last frost. 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.

Best tasting beet
I feel people either love or hate beets, and where they sit on this fence probably has to do with the earthiness beets are known for. But I feel Cylindra might just change beet naysayers' minds. It has a hint of sweet, and the earthiness doesn't seem to be as pronounced as say a Detroit Red. It's possibly the only beet I'll eat raw while out in the garden. Once boiled, or roasted, the sweetness seems to punch up, and it's a nice addition to any beet salad. They were fairly easy to grow, and seemed to do well in a garden bed I have that's a bit high on phosphorus and potassium.
