{"product_id":"touchstone-gold-beet-seeds","title":"Touchstone Gold Beet Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eTouchstone Gold Beet seeds produce brilliant golden beets known for their smooth texture, mild sweetness, and vibrant color that remains bright when cooked. This variety offers uniform, round roots that are less earthy than traditional red beets, making them appealing to a wide range of palates. The tender greens are equally delicious and can be harvested young for salads or allowed to grow for sautéing. Touchstone Gold thrives in full sun and loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter, producing consistent results when planted in either spring or fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low Growing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fall or Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50-85°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-10 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"-18\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55-65 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun\/Shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun to Partial Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing After Thinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\"-4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect sow Touchstone Gold Beet into a prepared, loose seedbed and keep the seed zone moist during establishment. Seed clusters can produce more than one seedling, so thin carefully when plants are large enough to handle. Use young leaves selectively if desired while preserving foliage for root development. Check root shoulders as maturity approaches and harvest at the preferred size. Seasonal conditions and spacing can influence both root size and harvest timing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGardeners love this variety for its reliable germination, beautiful presentation, and versatility in the kitchen—suited for roasting, pickling, steaming, or adding to fresh dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing Touchstone Gold Beet, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/veggie-and-flower-seeds\"\u003eVegetable \u0026amp; Flower Seeds collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Territorial Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42825733406833,"sku":"SNV1557","price":5.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/SNV1557_Touchstone-Gold-Beet.jpg?v=1768452852","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/touchstone-gold-beet-seeds","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
