65 days. If you have never waited to harvest your beets until after the autumn frosts, you have never tasted the intense sweetness that beets can achieve. The first frosts signal the root to begin storing sugars for the winter. Late October and November harvest will get the roots at their sweetest. Our distinctive blend of Red Ace, Touchstone Gold, and White Albino lets you grow a range of colors that make eye-catching pickles and relish. Equally impressive when served fresh.
