I'm wondering how long the beet bulb will live if I just leave it in the
ground and use it as a fresh greens source. :-) The only green I like
better than beet is chard and mom managed to get those to last 3 years
or more.

Not surprising since they are cultivars of the same species.

Really?

But I've not managed to get beet planted from seed to go more than 2
years. The second year, they bolted and produced a ton of seed and very
little green.

We've not experienced that with chard.
