Beets

It's almost time to pick the rest of the beets in the garden to make room for seeds for next season's crop. It takes a long time for beets to mature -- these seeds were planted last August, and then you have to thin them all the time. You can't transplant beet plants, but you can pickle them, which is what's about to happen.
