My dad and I always compete esp about our gardens and since he will be away
for a couple of weeks at planting time I offered to put his garden in Only
if I don't "mess" his garden on him . LOL. I am putting in the purple
carrots, the cheddar califlower, mangle beets, and whatever else I can find.
he will get a kick out of it
I did find a picture to show roughly the size of this beet. these guys are
carrying it over their shoulder. Not a great picture.

I wasn't aware of this kind of beet. I did a search under 'images' to
find some pictures, which don't do it justice I guess since there's
nothing in the images to give an impression of scale.

I was thinking about playing a trick on my father too--substituting
sunzilla seeds for his regular sunflower seeds (sunzillas can be up to
27 feet tall).
