“WOW ” fresh beets Hmmmmmmm lucky you 🙂
# Beets have long been used by herbalists and traditional healers.

# Alexander Ferenczi, MD of Csoma, Hungary fed cancer patients raw beets and beet juice, in the 1950’s. Most of the people recovered from their cancers. His claims for the beet were not taken seriously at the time. He was onto something; research shows the beet to be strongly cancer-preventive.

I love beets. I bet these are delicious ones too…coming from your garden. I envy you having home grown veggies, but can’t add another thing to tend to around here…at least not yet 😆

Hope you feel better. Isn’t it amazing how a little micro-organism can zap you!

all I’ve gotten so far is radishes…they went quick and I need to get some more seeds for them. The spinach went to seed before I could even tell it was ready! now it’s sour… :p

and I have one tiny tomatoe. The corn & beans look like they’re gonna be great but my squash might be too much in the shade. 🙁

I had to call my mom to find out how to make them, too! Cut the tops and root off, rinse in cold water. Save the tops if you haven’t used insecticides in your garden and make it like spinach. Bring water to a boil and put your sorta dirty looking beets in there and boil until you can “stick a fork in ’em”. Rinse, and the outer dirty skin slips right off with just a little pressure.

Now, I like pickled beets, and I’ll eat them with a bit of apple cider vinegar sprinkled onto them, but there great without the vinegar, too.

Also, you can apparently get two plantings out of them in a growing season. I picked mine too soon, and I may pick up more seeds and go at it again to see if I can get some bigger beets next time. 🙂
