Detroit Dark Red beets have been a favorite among gardeners since 1892, thanks to their rich flavor and versatility. Originally introduced by Detroit's D.M. Ferry Seed Company, these 2-3" globe-shaped beets are tender, sweet, and ready to harvest in just 60 days. The dark green tops can be cooked like swiss chard, making it a dual-purpose vegetable. With a deep red color and resistance to Downy Mildew, these beets are perfect for enjoying fresh or canning. Add a touch of heritage and vibrant color to your garden with this classic American beet.

How To Sow Seeds & Ideal Growing Conditions

Sun: full sun, 8 hours a day

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist

SoilPrepare the beet growing space by working in lots of compost and removing weeds or debris. 

Fertilizer: Mix a balanced fertilizer, like Espoma Garden Tone, into the soil before direct sowing the seeds to give beets a boost. Then fertilize with something high in phosphorus and potassium, and low in nitrogen, like this Fruit & Bloom Booster, at 1 month and again at 2 months after direct sowing the seeds. 

When & How To Sow Seeds: It is best to direct sow beet seeds in early spring or fall when the weather is cooler. Beets, like other root veggies, don't like being transplanted, so it's best to sow them directly in your garden. Plant the seeds 1/2 inch deep, at 1-2 inches apart in soil that's fertile or full of organic matter, with good drainage. Once the first set of true leaves appear, thin out the seedlings so there's one plant every 2-3 inches. In terms of square foot gardening, plant 9 beets per square foot. For a continuous harvest all season, sow more seeds every 2-3 weeks.

Germination: 5-10 days

Days To Maturity: 60-75 days after direct sowing the seed 

How & When To Harvest: Typically beets are ready for harvest when they are 2-3 inches in diameter. Pull them up by grabbing onto the leaves and stems. If needed, loosen up the soil around the beet before pulling. 

Common Diseases: Beets can sometimes struggle with a few common diseases, especially in warm, humid conditions. Leaf spot (Cercospora or Alternaria) shows up as brown or purple spots on leaves—treat it by removing affected leaves, improving air circulation, and spraying with an organic fungicide like copper or neem oil. Downy mildew causes yellowing leaves with fuzzy gray patches underneath; avoid overhead watering and rotate crops to reduce it. Root rot often happens in poorly drained soil, so be sure to plant beets in loose, well-drained beds and avoid overwatering.

Common Pests: Aphids cluster on leaves and stems, sucking sap and causing curling leaves—treat them by spraying with a strong blast of water, neem oil, or insecticidal soap. Flea beetles leave tiny “shot-hole” damage on leaves; floating row covers and diatomaceous earth can help protect young plants until they’re established. Leaf miners tunnel inside beet leaves, creating squiggly trails—remove and destroy affected leaves to stop the larvae from spreading. Cutworms may chew seedlings at the base, so placing collars around young plants or sprinkling beneficial nematodes in the soil helps reduce damage. Companion planting with onions or garlic also helps deter many beet pests naturally.

Great quality Cabin and air filter bundle pack. Very solid quality.
Size: 18-22 1.5L, Size: 18-22 1.5L
First off, I like that it's a combo pack instead of me having to buy each one individually and being able to change both at the same time. Now, I must say the quality of both of them is fantastic; I'm really impressed. It's not made out of cheap junk; it feels solid and seems like it will do a good job filtering out all the debris and dirt. It was extremely easy to install and fit perfectly like an OEM air filter and cabin air filter on my Honda Accord. The cabin air filter is definitely a solid piece, and you don't have to worry about it getting crushed or deforming as it's padded, I would assume the reason for the padding on the side of the cabin air filter is that no debris or dust sneaks through which gives it a snug fit which is very smart honestly. The same applies to the air filter that goes under the hood; it definitely feels like a quality piece. A quality filter definitely keeps outside odors and smells from coming inside the cabin, allowing you to get fresh, clean air when you turn your AC on. Overall, definitely a solid purchase, and I will definitely be back to buy this exact bundle pack in the future as it's well-built and fits like a glove. So, you're definitely getting great value for your money with this specific engine and cabin air filter combo pack. There are a lot of garbage ones out there, so if it were flimsy and felt like a cheap filter, I would be giving this one or two stars. But I'm actually quite impressed with this company, and it seems to be doing a fine job. My AC does work better after installing these new filters, and of course, the car runs better with the air filter installed.

Good Fit & Quality
Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid, Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid
This set which includes both the engine and cabit air filters are of good quality and fits my 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid well. The engine filter feels sturdy and well built. The cabin filter, although without charcoal infusion, has many folds which is more important when it comes to effective filtering of particles. The installation was easy and for the set, this set offers a good value.

Perfect fit!
Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid, Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid
This is a good value for a combo package which includes a cabin air filter as well as the engine air filter. Both filters were a perfect fit in my 2019 Honda Accord hybrid. The cabin air filter airflow direction is clearly labeled and the pleats are sturdy. Installation was super easy- just drop the glove box cover, pop the cabin filter cover plate, pull out the grungy old filter and pop in the new one. Easy peasy. The engine air filter is also a perfect fit. No complaints or concerns here.

The Best Filter Jerry, The Best!
Size: 2" x 10" x 11"
I installed once and it seems to work like a charm. I probably need to go rinse it off since it's been months--but I no longer have Honda telling me I need to replace an air filter when I go get an oil change. They tried but I knew it wasn't mine. LOL. Easy to install, and extremely good quality. No gaps in filter area either.
