Beets http://xrl.us/2gsa 21 June 2007 Beets pulled. Zone 5. Some beets were pulled for pickling and eating fresh. The growth was excellent and most were around the same size. There was no leaf damage due to insects. There is another later planted row for eating fresh as the season progresses. The tops were not utilized, since there was simply too many, plus there is still spinach for greens, which is preferred. http://www.durgan.org/Blog/Durgan.html
