Can You Beet This?

Sylvia harvested beets the other day.  This one was a bit larger than the others.

The beets are now in the oven.  Once they are baked, we’ll have some fresh beets and will probably can the rest of them.  We had beet greens with last evening’s meal.

We have fresh garden veggies each day.  Lots of tomatoes are included in each day’s harvest.  Fortunately, the zucchini has slowed its production.

The year of the garden continues.

  1. The beauty of canning means you don’t have to miss out on all that summer had to offer. 🙂

  2. I know that beets are a very healthy food for us, but the taste of pickled beets is revolting to me , so I stay away from them. Your view of that big beet looks a little bit human, with an eye, mouth, and the root is like a pony tail…ha ha

    • Nearly human? Perhaps it is a space alien who is about to invade our planet, conquer it and prepare for hordes of other purple people to colonize our good Earth. Yah . . . and maybe I’m a purple-people eater. :rofl:

  3. I have never cooked beets. Or canned them. But, I like to eat them…YUM!

    Do you eat beets warm? I always eat them cold for some reason.

    • I prefer them plain and hot with a bit of butter, salt and pepper. :food: Don’t care for Harvard beets. :no: I’ll eat pickled beets but they aren’t my top choice. :beam:
