In reference to an earlier question of mine, and someone else's interest
in the answer (Omelet I believe), I found this page regarding harvesting beet greens (and beets): http://www.yardener.com/HarvestingandStoringBeets.html |

I finally saw some beets with the greens at Wal-mart for the first time in ages. I'm considering purchasing some and just sticking them back into the ground for greens harvest. :-) Should not be any different than re-planting any other bulb? -- Peace, Om Remove both _ (underscores) to validate gmail e-mails.

I'm wondering how long the beet bulb will live if I just leave it in the ground and use it as a fresh greens source. :-) The only green I like better than beet is chard and mom managed to get those to last 3 years or more. -- Peace, Om Remove both _ (underscores) to validate gmail e-mails.

The second year, they bolted and produced a ton of seed and very little green. We've not experienced that with chard. -- Peace, Om Remove both _ (underscores) to validate gmail e-mails.

There are few items at Wal-mart that I can't get elsewhere, but here in this town, there are only two grocery stores. Some items I have to go there for unless I want to drive to Austin. Packed freeway and lots of gas. HEB cuts the greens off of the beets. Always. -- Peace, Om Remove both _ (underscores) to validate gmail e-mails.

Packed freeway and lots of gas. You're not the only one who goes to Walmart, I go there too, they sell the Oakhurst Dairy milk I prefer. Can't get it in any supermarket around here, but super Wally World has it. HEB cuts the greens off of the beets. Always. I look at veggies in there when I'm getting milk, but somehow I just can't bring myself to buy them. Walmart=plastic in my mind, I guess (except for that damned milk, why did that dairy have to make a deal with the devil? G). -- Ann e-mail address is not checked |

Om, I didn't say fast food restaurants, I said supermarkets. I doubt that avocados are grown in Texas, so they must come from Florida or California. If they are grown in Texas, though, you would do the neighborhood proud by buying them. The problem is that the profits from "Wally World" leave Texas, leaving the area that much poorer. If you buy from a neighbor, the money will circulate locally. -- FB - FFF Billy Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight. - Bob Marley |
