Let me start this post off my saying the night ended badly due to 2 wasp stings- one to my right leg above the knee and the other on the back of my left calf. YOWZA they are still sore this morning!
I went out after work last night to thin the beets and weed in the garden.
This is the best stand of beets I have had since moving here! I used to grow 5- 100ft rows just like this in my past life/garden!
Here is what I got after pulling them - some of them are a bit larger than I prefer but they will cut up and go great in my jars!
I plan to pickle them, I LOVE cold pickled beets!!
I hope your garden or planters are doing wonderfully also!
Have a fabulously productive day everyone! Thanks for sharing my life with me!
Did you really compost the beet tops. They are so good steamed with a little butter and a touch of salt. My mouth is watering. I love to garden just not able to yet. We are in new development and I need a fence first. Next year for sure.
