The Queen of all beets. Hundreds of strains of beets have come and gone over the last couple of hundred years, but only a few have stood the test of time. Ruby Queen is at the top of the shortlist. AAS winner in 1957.
Easy to grow, uniform bulbs that are super sweet, with dark ruby red flesh. No concentric rings like most other red beets. Solid dark red flesh holds its color and texture when cooked. pickled, canned, or frozen.
The beet tops can be used raw in salads or cooked like a green, they taste like spinach. Beetroots and tops are loaded with vitamins, and minerals. and anti-oxidants. Ruby Queen is naturally disease resistant.
I ordered Red Fountain you sent Red Bamboo #381. The other order was Red Dragon, you sent Orange Bamboo #391. Toadstoolseeds.com sent them. I sent you an email about this earlier. Can you send the correct seeds?
I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
