'Early Wonder' first appeared in the United States seed trade simultaneously in the 1911 catalogs of F. H. Woodruff & Sons and S. D. Woodruff & Sons. It was also known by 'Boston Crosby' and 'Nuttings Gem'.[1]
This beet was so easy to grow and now that's it's only early July and harvested, I can replant for the fall or dedicate the space in the garden to something else. Beets are a nice size --- not too big and not too small. They popped up out of the ground on their own. Definitely going to plant this one again next year - the only problem with this year's is that I didn't plant enough!
Perfect germination, pretty much indifferent to weather and pests. Beautiful greens and root; about as perfect as a beet can get.
