We have planted beet berries and were wondering if anyone has a picture of a seedling. We are trying to differentiate it among the weeds that have invaded our garden plot. Thanks for any help out there.

Thanks gswilkent, I have seen pix like this, but an looking for a seedling more then anything. I know these things are hardy, they grow up in Ontario where I'm from. Well I will keep looking. thanks Joeyz
Has anyone ever grown beet berries before. I planted them this year because they looked interesting in the cataloge but all I am getting is leaves on a low growing plant. I thought they were suposed to be a couple feet tall and have red berries on them. Help!
Nanny --that is the normal growth pattern. It grows a basal rosette of leaves sort of like pointy spinach but smaller, and then starts to shoot up the stalks that will bear the fruits.
Its actually a cute plant. When I used to work as a florist, I would often cut it and take it to work and put into arrangements, because it looked nice AND I knew if some dog or toddler ate it it wasn't going to be a problem (you would be amazed at what people let their kids and pets get into!)
