Kleckley’s Sweet watermelon seeds trace back to the late 1800s, when famed grower W.A. Kleckley of Alabama bred this variety for exceptional sweetness and home-garden quality. The melons typically reach 25–40 pounds and develop a long, oblong shape with a thin, dark-green rind that makes them easy to cut but not ideal for shipping—one reason they became a beloved backyard classic rather than a commercial staple. Inside, the flesh is deep red, extremely juicy, and known for its rich, candy-like sweetness. Kleckley’s Sweet performs best when planted in full sun, in warm, well-drained soil enriched with compost, and given plenty of room to vine; regular watering during fruit development and a long, hot growing season help ensure those signature sugar-packed melons.

Historically, beets have been cultivated for thousands of years, with evidence of their consumption dating back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks. The Avalanche beet is a modern cultivar that has been selectively bred for its unique attributes. Avalanche beets are renowned for their mild, sweet flavor and tender texture.

The days to maturity for Avalanche beets range from 45 to 50 days, making them a relatively quick-growing crop. These beets are characterized by their crisp, pure white flesh and skin, giving them their distinctive appearance. They are also known for their resistance to common beet diseases such as Cercospora leaf spot and Rhizoctonia root rot, which can help ensure a healthy yield. When growing Avalanche beets, it's essential to provide them with well-draining, loose soil that is rich in organic matter. They thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Proper spacing is crucial, with rows spaced about 12-18 inches apart and individual beets planted 2-4 inches apart within the rows.
