Members lefort_1 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 btw, there are now 3 plots of beets planted...each about 20x30 feet...no rows, just a solid mass of beets. Germination rate has been outta this world. About 60 days to picking. Bonus word: Chiogga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted July 2, 2012 Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 We just thinned our beats, the little guys that we pulled were gumball sized, can we use any or all of them, I was thinking using the stalk in a saut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted July 2, 2012 Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 My favorite size for pickling is just a bit larger than a quarter. Greens: tear up raw in salads :yum: Spinach saute is good....onion, garlic and balsamic. Beet-green quiche is little-known but a savory surprise. Nice - we tried chard for the first tone this year too for the multi use cooking applications, excited to see how they will do! It feels good to see the passing work of composing through winter yields these crazy yields, I already have full cucumbers that ate just a little too lime colored to pick yet and it hadn't been that long Since the small thinned beets are good for pickling, please pm me some instructions and I'll get them going!

Sounds like someone was forced to eat beets at a young age. force feed a kid shrimp and I'm sure that will put them off to it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
