Harvesting Beet Greens
 

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):

Oh, and this one:

says you can pick 1/3 of the greens at a time.

Hey thanks!

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?

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.

Not surprising since they are cultivars of the same species.

Really?

But I've not managed to get beet planted from seed to go more than 2
years. The second year, they bolted and produced a ton of seed and very
little green.

We've not experienced that with chard.

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.

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.

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).

"A study by the New Economics Foundation in London found that every £10
spent in a local food business is worth £25 for the local area, compared
with just £14 when the same amount is spent in a supermarket. That is, a
pound (or dollar peso, or rupee) spent locally generates nearly twice as
much income for the local economy."

No surprise...

Fast Food is much pricier than cooking your own food.

Frankly, I could not afford to live entirely off of food made by
somebody else!

Nor would it be healthy in most cases.

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.

If the neighbor sold decent milk I would.

As for buy locally, I do, as much as possible. Some of us already
have the message, Billy.
