Beet Vegetable Seeds Packet
Beet seeds for the kitchen garden that intends to actually produce beet this year. Beets are the vegetable that turns everything in the kitchen a dramatic shade of red and feels no obligation to apologise.
Beet is the dual-purpose vegetable offering both edible roots and nutritious greens from a single sowing. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.
How to Grow Beet from Seed
Sowing and Germination
Direct sow 2-3cm deep, 10cm apart. Sow in spring or late summer.
Care and Harvest
Both roots and leaves edible. Harvest roots at 5-7cm for best flavour. 55-70 days.
Why Vacuum-Sealed Seeds Last Longer
Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.
About the Packaging
Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
