Detroit Dark Red beets have been a favorite among gardeners since 1892, thanks to their rich flavor and versatility. Originally introduced by Detroit's D.M. Ferry Seed Company, these 2-3" globe-shaped beets are tender, sweet, and ready to harvest in just 60 days. The dark green tops can be cooked like swiss chard, making it a dual-purpose vegetable. With a deep red color and resistance to Downy Mildew, these beets are perfect for enjoying fresh or canning. Add a touch of heritage and vibrant color to your garden with this classic American beet.

How To Sow Seeds & Ideal Growing Conditions

Sun: full sun, 8 hours a day

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist

SoilPrepare the beet growing space by working in lots of compost and removing weeds or debris. 

Fertilizer: Mix a balanced fertilizer, like Espoma Garden Tone, into the soil before direct sowing the seeds to give beets a boost. Then fertilize with something high in phosphorus and potassium, and low in nitrogen, like this Fruit & Bloom Booster, at 1 month and again at 2 months after direct sowing the seeds. 

When & How To Sow Seeds: It is best to direct sow beet seeds in early spring or fall when the weather is cooler. Beets, like other root veggies, don't like being transplanted, so it's best to sow them directly in your garden. Plant the seeds 1/2 inch deep, at 1-2 inches apart in soil that's fertile or full of organic matter, with good drainage. Once the first set of true leaves appear, thin out the seedlings so there's one plant every 2-3 inches. In terms of square foot gardening, plant 9 beets per square foot. For a continuous harvest all season, sow more seeds every 2-3 weeks.

Germination: 5-10 days

Days To Maturity: 60-75 days after direct sowing the seed 

How & When To Harvest: Typically beets are ready for harvest when they are 2-3 inches in diameter. Pull them up by grabbing onto the leaves and stems. If needed, loosen up the soil around the beet before pulling. 

Common Diseases: Beets can sometimes struggle with a few common diseases, especially in warm, humid conditions. Leaf spot (Cercospora or Alternaria) shows up as brown or purple spots on leaves—treat it by removing affected leaves, improving air circulation, and spraying with an organic fungicide like copper or neem oil. Downy mildew causes yellowing leaves with fuzzy gray patches underneath; avoid overhead watering and rotate crops to reduce it. Root rot often happens in poorly drained soil, so be sure to plant beets in loose, well-drained beds and avoid overwatering.

Common Pests: Aphids cluster on leaves and stems, sucking sap and causing curling leaves—treat them by spraying with a strong blast of water, neem oil, or insecticidal soap. Flea beetles leave tiny “shot-hole” damage on leaves; floating row covers and diatomaceous earth can help protect young plants until they’re established. Leaf miners tunnel inside beet leaves, creating squiggly trails—remove and destroy affected leaves to stop the larvae from spreading. Cutworms may chew seedlings at the base, so placing collars around young plants or sprinkling beneficial nematodes in the soil helps reduce damage. Companion planting with onions or garlic also helps deter many beet pests naturally.

Gift for my little dog…..
My little Bichon loves this toy. It was for her birthday. She loves shaking it and throwing it up in the air! Amazingly, she has not tried to unstuff him yet as she usually does with other similar toys! I guess that proves she really loves it then! It is well made and I would recommend it.

The Squeaker gave out the first week
I got this for my playful chihuahua. The size is rather large for him, but that's really not an issue for him; he already thinks he's ferocious and big as a Rottweiler. The Squeaker worked at first, but it's not attached to anything on the inside, so it floats freely and is hard to locate and squeeze, without it slipping out of my grasp. After a week, the squeaker is now completely collapsed and doesn't work at all. Its a terrible design. The Squeaker should be easily accessible, firmly attached to something on the inside, and should be more durable.

Strong hold
Color: Multi-colored, Color: Multi-colored
Very good product. I’m definitely impressed. I have two German shepherds and this toy is definitely durable and does what it’s made to do. The suction is great. The company even gives you a clear plastic strip that you can actually put on the floor and then put the suction cup on it For better grip. I’ve had suction toys before which was absolutely horrible. This one definitely supersedes all others. The suction comes off once in a while but usually that’s because if my dogs are literally biting on the suction cup part lol. But with confidence. Great product
