We left our allotment with friends this summer and when we were joyfully reunited with it on Friday, we found plenty to harvest. It was raining when we went out to inspect the garden, so Steve just pulled up one beet and one bag's worth of potatoes.

Just goes to support my theory of gardening. Plant, ignore, and pick. I call it survival gardening. What survives I eat.

I love purple potatoes. My uncle almost wouldn't eat the mashed purple potatoes, or the purple potato salad. We still talk about how good the purple potato salad of '09 was.
I covet the potatoes. You really are a great human being.
That is a monster beet. I'm glad you know some good beet recipes, cause I wouldn't know what to do with a vegetable that big!
KWB--Seems like a good method!
Moo--We only got TWO purple potatoes. Our seed potatoes were not in great shape!
Eliana--If you were close by, we would share our potatoes with you. We've got tons.
Stash--We have LOTS of big beets. Tonight we start the pickling.
If you need some beet puns, you should check out the episode of The Office where Jim and Pam go to Schrute Farms. It's full of them! Also, the beet cake looks tasty. What kind of frosting is on it?
That is all so awesome! I'm especially fond of the beet and resultant cake.
How about: The Beet Generation.
