Wonder Beets
Reviewed By: Patricia (Hudson, MA)
I gave up growing beets years ago because they grew so small. I tried again this summer only because of the reviews of this type of beet were good. I am so happy I tried again. Big beets that are delicious are overtaking the garden. Almost every seed germinated. Finally, a good beet seed is available!! Thank you, Gurneys.

Seed tape disappointing
Reviewed By: Highwinds Farm (Geneseo, Ny)
Last year I bought seed tapes for beets, carrots, and lettuce. The germination was terrible. I went out and bought Burbee seeds and planted them right next to the tape and they germinated fine. I would not recommend any of the seed tapes under any circumstances.
