2014.08.25 – Beet Pickling Day

We have so many beets in our front yard. I went through the beds and just picked the biggest ones. I got a variety of red, golden and some whitish pinkish beets that I can’t identify.

It's a messy job

I ended up with 20 pints of various beets and let me tell you it’s quite the job! It probably gets easier over time but wow, it was a lot of work that first time. I love pickled beets though so it was worth it.

We also have really happy jalapeño plants in our back yard. We have too many to eat and will definitely have to share these. They are really pretty!

Today I learned that we have some other variety of beet growing in our yard. I will have to figure out what it is.
