It's been a lot of fun to have decent beets. Our mountain raised beds (filled with compost) are ideal; I've never managed to have much luck growing beets in the piedmont, even with heavily amended soil.
But we've been enjoying beets (and onions and garlic from the piedmont vegetable beds) -- hard not to like freshly harvested beets and their greens. Yum. Here are two views of the same bunch, directly after harvest (hmm, and just prior to being part of our dinner).
