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.

I found your beets very easy to grow in my clay soil and when I harvested them.....They were great and they canned real good also. I will allways plant these type. Thank you

Amazing
Reviewed By: Debbie (Newton Falls, OH)
These beets were AMAZING! Huge crop from just 1 twenty foot row. Some grew as big as softballs but tasted just as good as the smaller ones without becoming pithy.
