DISPATCHES FROM THE FARMRSS

Beet It!

Wednesday, May 26, 2010
They take quite a while to grow, but once they're ready, beetroots are such a wonderful, colourful, nutritious and versatile vegetable to have on hand...especially at this time of year, so fab for roasts, soups and pickling.



We've been harvesting our long awaited heirloom beets lately. We've grown Bull's Blood, Chioggia - the cute, sweet ones with pink/white rings inside and Detroits, which you can see above. 



We grow other coloured varieties when we can get the seeds.



So handsome, sooo yum!
