Dez just harvested some of the first beets. These are chioggia beets, which have a ringed pattern, alternating white and red, when you slice them open. When these started growing, they popped out of the ground a bit, and the sun bleached them where they were exposed. When she sliced them open, they were mostly white with a bit pink, where we had expected dark red rings. We were worried we had screwed up somehow and that they would be tasteless, but they were the sweetest beets either of us had ever eaten. The greens were delicious too, even better than the kale and collards.

Beets? Kale? Collards?!?
Call me when the chocolate plant blooms!
Ah, but you are supposed to eat your veggies before you get your dessert. And the beets are full of sugar anyhow.
I'm not buying your parental propaganda. I went to college so I wouldn't have to eat vegetables...
Well, maybe garlic, buttery mashed potatoes with cheese. I could do that. :)
Hey, Just noticed I made your blog contributors list. Thanks. Yea, all the cliche's about how parenting changes you are true. We hassle everyone about needing to have kids too, we can't avoid bringing Jameson up in any conversation, and we have turned into our parents.
