First Round of Beets

This year we had a different sort of organic beet seed.  Instead of growing round they grew like carrots???  Never saw that before.  Yesterday, when I was working in the garden, I saw that a couple of beets were starting to seed out--obviously ready for harvest.

Today I went through and started thinning the rows out.  I picked an armful and pickled them.

 

Batch #1 (of about 5 or 6 more this size) complete.
