Well this seems to be going okay so here's the beetroot!
With all the rain and then lots of sun the beetroot went into overdrive and a lot has had to be pulled now as it's already beginning to reach monster proportions. Paul had planned on pickling it as last years attempts at storing it in sand didn't go too well, however after filling every jar he could find and running out of pickling vinegar we still have an awful lot of beetroot! Linda from next door however came to the rescue and photocopied instructions on how to freeze it from her Good Housekeeping Manual! (perhaps I should have one of these?). So the extra freezer we had to buy last year when we ran out of space for cabbage is filling up already - will we be needing one of those catering size chest freezers?
here's some of the beetroot posing beautifully in my trug!
