Cut in quarters, plenty of butter and salt, roasted until tender. They go with any meat dish. They also "can" very good and stay perfect tenderness for years.

Not really, they are very easy and not many diseases or pests.
The only thing I can suggest....try Detroit red beets....or something like that. We just call them Detroit beets.
They are sweet and very red. The more redness, the better they are for you. Beets are very good for you.......apparently.
I love Beets ! I have a raised bed set up to grow just beets every year. They’re one of the easiest root veggies to grow and the yield is excellent. I like the Detroit Red for their great taste and dark red color. I’ve let a couple of plants go way past typical harvest size to see what happens and we got beets the size of softballs! We cut them into thick slabs about one inch thick and roasted them . Awesome !

Yeah, I like them roasted too, with black pepper corns sprinkled on!

Cool. I’m excited about the beets. I did an orange variety that is supposed to be super sweet so I will see what happens. My peppers are popping today so that’s great news.

Don't forget good old-fashioned pickled beets and onions.
