Back home, let's see what we have. It looks like a big tangled mess!
However, a short time later I have a nice batch of baby beets ready to roast, and a big bag of beet greens, which are delicious!
So that is almost that for the year, but I still have lettuce in the hoop house. It'll be fun to see how long I can keep it growing.
Until next time, Keep Digging & Eat Well.

Why do most people throw away the leaves of their beets, then make a special effort to grow Swiss Chard??
ReplyDeleteGood point Mark! The flavor and cooking technique is the similar for both.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up, we never ate the beet greens, my mother didn't like them but she made some good pickled beets. If I could get some to grow now, I would never throw away the greens but I live in the South now and all greens are eaten here.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely beets harvest! I hope that your lettuce will survive in hoop house and provide you with few nice salad bowls this winter.
ReplyDeleteVrtlarica, Thank you! Sadly at -14C nothing survives the hoop house.
