Beets and Garlic



 My first clove of garlic harvested this season. This clove was planted last fall.


We have been harvesting beets for awhile now, and eating tons of it. My wife made a beet salad from the Detroit Dark Red and Golden beets that I grew. My daughter and I have dubbed her salad "Boozy Beet Salad" because of some cooking sherry and wine vinegar that's in it. It was a good salad, but it was more in line with the "girl food" that my wife enjoys so much, and not quite my thing. I think that beets are some of the most useful crops that one can grow, because you can use the whole plant. After my spring crop is done, I will plant more beets for a fall crop.
