By August start harvesting delicious beets! You may need to thin your rows once to about 1 beet every 3″ or so].’, ‘Clean off, cut off greens (save for salad) wash and scrub if needed, rinse.’, ‘boil beets til fork tender [fork wil slip in easily] approx 20 minutes.’, ‘rinse in cold water, skins will peel/slip off.

Awesome breakfast too.’]
