Touchstone Gold Beet

Touchstone Gold Beet is the best performing golden beet variety we've trialed. It has great germination for a golden beet. This variety produces 3-4" orange to golden beet roots that are consistently round when spaced properly. The flesh of the beet is a bright yellow that is eye-catching and appealing on a plate. Unlike red beets, the stems on Touchstone Gold are green in addition to the leaves which are edible. Touchstone Gold Beet is great prepared raw and doesn't bleed like red beets. It is also great for roasting. Beets may be direct seeded or grown as transplants. Beet Seeds are multigerm, which means that each seed will germinate 2-3 plants. As a result, plants will require thinning once they emerge from the soil. Failure to thin will result in overcrowding and lack of consistently sized roots. Plants should be thinned to one every 3-4" along the row. Beets may be planted on a bed with multiple rows close together. Harvest beets when roots have reached 3-4" in size. For storage,
