Title: My beets are bloomin marvelous!
Post by: sawfish on August 04, 2010, 19:07:11
I just wanted to say that, because for the first time ever my beetroot are big, juicy and multitudinous.

I'm wondering if its due to all the rabbit droppings I dug into that bed after 'dispatching' the damned rabbit that ruined my plot last year. It had left tons of poo all over the bed. That and planting later (early June).

Justice!

My beetroot have been good this year, I am especially happy as they are from my own saved seed.

Well I'm not going to beet around the bush, mine are growing away quite nicely, I had some baby ones when thinning out and now have some nice sized ones and the ones in a small trough in the back garden are coming along too.    ;D ;D ;D
