| Due to weather conditions, beets did not do well this year in our demonstration gardens. We had very little yield. |

| We are not very good at thinning our beets; we just pull out the most crowded as we harvest. These did very well in spite of our neglect. Beets got absolutely enormous! Beautiful light red skin left some people wondering if they were giant radishes. Stayed tender even when very large. Milder than dark red beets. Serve them raw - yes, raw - in slices to preserve the beautiful red and white bulls-eye pattern. |
