About Early Wonder
Early Wonder is an old beet grown both for roots and especially for vigorous, flavorful greens. The roots are flattened to round and mature relatively early.
Growing Early Wonder Beet
Use wider spacing if you want decent root size, or grow it closer for greens production. Pick greens selectively so plants can keep feeding the roots.
