Finally just picked

The first beetroot, beauties too.

After all the seeds we went through this year that has mad a bad day seem soooooo much better. 

Only three and only a pound in weight but happy me.

My first (and second) sowing were munched up totally by something so I'm a bit behind and waiting for sowing number 3 (half grown under cover and half in the open-the latter are now slowly being) to bulk up.

Birds???  Slugs??? Can't really work it out... Any ideas?       Had the same issue last year.

I think they are all to blame. I have never had issue with beets till this year. 

well done, put 13 little plants down. 2wks later put another 50 down, rabbit must have got in somehow and had the whole lot of them, left me the 13 as the leaves would,nt have been as succulent. .enjoy
