Beet Harvest


BEETS!
two varities we grew companion planted with snap peas & bush beans.  Some chioggia guardsmark beets and some  early wonder tall top beets.  I left more than half in the bed to let them get even bigger. Yum!

*Lesson from the companion planting.... I think I went a little too intensive with this approach- which was every other row alternating the snap peas & beets (one half), bush beans & beets (the other half).  It made it more of a hide & seek game, which had its fun parts.  But planting with the sugar snap peas (a variety that doesn't technically need a trellis), made for a tangly mess, with the peas oppressing the beets some.  Oh well, they still both seemed to thrive despite my inconvenience.

Hurray!
