I'm kind of proud of my beetroot harvest this year. In the spring I decided to try every single variety I get hold of. I started 18 varieties, and they all produced.

Maybe you'll find pleasure in having a look at the picure of all my beets.

We had borscht yesterday. Delicoius!

Thank you for *all* those lovely photographs. Quite a collection.

What camera are you using?

Wow! That would be a heavenly harvest indeed! How many of each did
you plant and were there any outstanding favorites that will make
you commit a larger portion of your plot towards next year?

Roasted beets are divine, too.

How much can I harvest my beet greens without affecting the bulbs?

lol I like the greens more than the beets too, so I'd be interested in
this as well.

I was pleased to see Beets with Greens for sale at Wal-mart this morning.
But, they were WAY too expensive! About $1.00 per beet so I gave them a
pass.

wow your beets are great. i didnt realize that there were so many different
varieties. ill have to look and see what i can find to try this coming year in
our raised garden boxes. thanks for sharing your great beets with us .
cyaaaaaaaa, sockiescat .

wow they are really great. we planted some this year for the first time they gave nothing just a very tiny stringy long thing. i'll try again next year. did you add any extra compost or something or just plant straight into the ground so i know what to do next year.
