A Difference of a Week

Under the hanging baskets are beets. They are a dual-purpose crop: you can eat the fresh beet greens in salad and eat the beet that is growing in the ground. These beets need about 4 more weeks; the greens we've already been eating.

The hanging baskets aren't looking to shabby, either. We didn't lose any plants in the transplanting, and these baskets will get to go to a new home starting next Saturday... the start of Clay Center's Farmers Market.
