Crosby's Egyptian beet (Beta vulgaris) is a distinctive variety of beet that has garnered attention for its unique flavor profile and adaptability in various growing conditions. This heirloom variety is characterized by its flat, round shape and vibrant red color, making it not only a nutritious addition to the diet but also an attractive choice for home gardeners.

The young greens are also edible and can be used in salads or cooked as a nutritious side dish. The versatility of Crosby's Egyptian beet allows it to be enjoyed in a variety of culinary applications, from roasting to pickling.

One of the notable advantages of growing Crosby's Egyptian beet is its resilience to various pests and diseases. This variety exhibits a degree of tolerance to common beet pests such as aphids and leaf miners, making it an excellent choice for organic gardening practices. Additionally, the deep taproot of the beet allows it to access nutrients and moisture from deeper soil layers, contributing to its overall robustness.

Harvesting Crosby's Egyptian beet can begin as early as 50 days after sowing, depending on the desired size of the roots. It is advisable to harvest beets when they reach a diameter of 2 to 3 inches for the best flavor and texture. The greens can also be harvested throughout the growing season, promoting continuous growth of the roots.

In summary, Crosby's Egyptian beet is a valuable addition to any garden, offering both aesthetic appeal and culinary versatility. Its ease of cultivation and resistance to pests make it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.

The Burpee Golden Beet, a cultivar of the traditional beetroot, is distinguished by its vibrant golden-yellow flesh and sweet flavor. This variety is particularly valued for its unique color, which not only adds visual appeal to dishes but also provides a different taste profile compared to the more common red beet. The golden beet is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, making it a beneficial addition to any garden.

When cultivating Burpee Golden Beets, it is essential to consider their growing conditions. These beets thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. They prefer full sun exposure, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. The optimal planting time for golden beets is in early spring or late summer, as they are cool-season crops. Planting seeds approximately 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart allows for adequate spacing, which is crucial for healthy root development.

Watering is another critical aspect of growing Burpee Golden Beets. Consistent moisture is necessary, especially during the germination phase, which typically takes 5 to 10 days. Once established, beets require about 1 inch of water per week. However, overwatering should be avoided, as it can lead to root rot and other diseases. Mulching around the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, contributing to a healthier growing environment.

Harvesting Burpee Golden Beets is generally recommended when the roots reach a diameter of 1 to 3 inches, typically around 50 to 60 days after planting. At this stage, the beets are tender and flavorful. It is advisable to harvest them before they become too large, as larger beets may develop a woody texture. The greens of the golden beet are also edible and can be harvested and consumed as a nutritious leafy green.

In terms of pest management, Burpee Golden Beets are susceptible to common garden pests such as aphids and leaf miners. Implementing integrated pest management strategies, including crop rotation and the use of beneficial insects, can help mitigate these issues. Additionally, maintaining healthy soil through organic practices can enhance the plants' resilience against pests and diseases.

In conclusion, the Burpee Golden Beet is a rewarding plant for both novice and experienced gardeners. Its unique color, nutritional benefits, and versatility in the kitchen make it an excellent choice for home gardens. By providing the right growing conditions and care, gardeners can enjoy a bountiful harvest of this vibrant vegetable.

This makes it an excellent choice for home gardeners looking to supplement their vegetable intake with fresh produce.

Full sun exposure is essential, as this plant requires at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily to achieve optimal growth. Additionally, regular watering is crucial, particularly during dry spells, as beans are sensitive to drought conditions.

From a nutritional standpoint, beans are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. The Bean Taylor Dwarf, like other bean varieties, contributes significantly to a balanced diet. It is particularly rich in folate, iron, and magnesium, making it a valuable addition to any meal plan.

When considering pest management, the Bean Taylor Dwarf may be susceptible to common garden pests such as aphids and spider mites.

How to Grow Sprouts

The easiest method is to grow sprouts in a Mason jar. To provide plenty of fresh air, cover the top with the mesh screen.

Step One: Soaking

For a quart-sized jar, put 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of small seeds (up to 1 cup if using larger seeds like green peas or garbanzo) in the sprouting jar. Cover top of jar with cloth or sprouting lid and rinse the seeds in warm (not hot) water. Drain and refill so that water is about an inch above the seeds. Let the seeds soak 8-12 hours (overnight). Protect from light by covering with a dish towel or placing in a cupboard.

Step Two: Rinsing

Rinse 2 to 3 times per day for 2 to 3 days. After thoroughly draining the rinse water, lay the jar on its side to spread out the seeds. Do not expose to light. After 2 to 3 days the sprouts should be filling up the jar.


Things to Remember:

1. Rinse often (2-3 times/day).

2. Keep them moist, not wet.

3. Keep them at room temperature.

4. Give them air to breathe.

5. Don't grow too many in one container.

6. Keep them in a dark place.
