I am so glad I tried beets this year. They taste great and are doing well, they are lovely in the garden, I'm going to try some this fall in the greenhouse. :rainbow-sun

Tonight is a garden dinner night.... Fried green maters, sauteed beet and collard greens, roasted beets, jalapeno cornbread and rhubarb pie. Odd combo huh? But all from my garden ('cept the cormeal, flour and olive oil :) ) :rainbow-sun

HI :frow I believe I read that the seeds can be harvested when they feel like a ripe tomato. Mine are getting close.

I just couldn't wait any longer..... I had to try some beets, I only have had them pickled which I love. I found one golden and one red that were about 3 in so I figured beet brunch why not. I roasted the beets and sauted the greens in olive oil with some sliced garlic. Oh my goodness I have...

Hi Kricket :frow Uh maybe I'm missing something, but you replanted potatoes you just harvested this past weekend? Were they sprouted already? I'm not sure that they will grow if they aren't somewhat sprouted, I've only been growing potatoes for 4 years so I could be way wrong on this. Just...

We have never harvested before late Sept at the earliest. My plants are all growing and green and in various stages of flowering. :rainbow-sun

I was crawling around weeding today and I poked around in the dirt and I have garlic!! I'm so happy :) as soon as the tops start dying back I'll start pulling.

I have bought seed potatoes from gurneys, Wood Prairie Farm and territorial Seed, all are online. If any of your potatoes sprout you can plant them. If you have a organic farmers market near you maybe you can get some there. Good Luck :rainbow-sun

Hey wifezilla :frow funny you brought this up I just called CSU master gardener yesterday to ask the same thing. I want to plant another batch of Spinach, collards and some parsnips, rutabaga and kohlrabi. These are the dates I was given, basically the end of July through Mid-late August...

Ok, I put garlic in this spring, but they were looking like small green onions, so I guess they were well sprouted :idunno . I mulched them in very well with straw, they have grown taller and look healthy, no scapes. Do I wait until the tops die back to pull them or can I start yanking now...
