My beet crop didn’t do so well last year, perhaps I didn’t thin enough? I’m thinking about trying Chiogga next year, but quick question about the seedpods… is it possible to break them up before planting or would that require tweezers and a microscope?
Favorite ways to use beets: Avocado, Beet, and Arugula Salad, Thomas Keller’s Red Beet Ice Cream, and Roasted Beet Salad with Barley, feta and Red Onion.

Best summer salad that I’m making now in autumn: https://zomsadventures.blogspot.com/2010/11/souvenir-foto-school-food-and-foto.html#!/2010/11/souvenir-foto-school-food-and-foto.html
It works even when fresh sorrel turns into pre-packaged arugula and off-the-vine cherry tomatoes became off-the-airplane chilean tomatoes.

I purposefully planted my beets late for fall salads (Aug.) because I hate roasting in summer. My beets as of yesterday were still only seedlings! They have just not grown. This has never happened to me before. I am beetless and sad.

In reply to Susan.

I love them, too, Susan. Now if I can only find them under the snow here…. :)
