While I'm on the theme of winter root vegetables - these are beets I pulled from my garden on Sunday. They are a lot smaller than they appear here. I'm sure they will be tasty, but next year I hope to be able to grow good sized beets. I think beets may be a crop that needs more sun than I have in my home garden, so I'll plan to grow them in my new plot next year.

Those look wonderful! one of my favourite veggies to eat, especially when they are small.
Me too. I love beets.
I've had poor luck with beets this year in Belmont, I'm not sure why. I was warned not to sow too thick, and apparently that wasn't a problem since I only had 30% or less germination! The ones that did sprout are spindley and weak. :(
