one of our more successful and popular crops this year was beets. as in Detroit dark red beets.
they were popular with the customers- both as beet greens and baby beets.
but most of all the beets were adored by B. she loves beets. LOVES. BEETS.
the first time i took her out to the garden to help me harvest beets, she had a great time. the look of wonder on her face when she pulled her first beet out of the ground is a look I'll never forget.
more amazingly, she had that same look of amazement every time she pulled out another beet. every. single. time.
we made a few quarts and pints of pickled beets for the winter, but B couldn't wait. she wanted a bowlful of buttered beets right away.
most people in our family don't like pickled beets, but rather the pickled eggs that traditionally go with them.

however, i think i should have done some more pickling of our produce this year. just yesterday B ate a whole pint of kosher dill spears- nearly single handedly!
next year i guess i should plan on planting more beets and cukes!

I am going to try growing beets next year. I LOVE them SO much,especially candied beets or "Harvard Beets" as my Aunt Mary used to call them. :)
Love the baby in the bibbed overalls! Too precious!
