Mark-
I'm not sure that what I'm seeing is a woody beet, though- aside from the tiny white strand these beets sliced like butter and are very tender. Our weather this fall hasn't been hot and I water the raised beds regularly when we don't have rain- maybe the large amounts of frequent rain was too much?
Have you grown the real Lutz, Mark? One of them had light pink/green stalks that were very distintive looking. I think it was Fedco's catalog where I read last year about the difficulty in finding true seed.
