Lettuce turnip the Beet

Spring is here, FINALLY!!

Last Sunday was glorious, I spent the whole day with my kids as well as my garden. I planted a couple tomato plants, a lot of peppers, beets, radishes, spinach, lettuce, green beans, spaghetti squash, butternut squash, zuchinni, yellow squash, basil parsley, marjoram....and the asparagus is popping up. I also roasted this enormous beet that I bought from the Rochester Downtown Farmer's Market, isn't it beautiful? It was sweet, tender and delicious, and totally changed my opinion of giant beets.


This week the weather in Minnesota is predictied to be spectacular!! 78 degrees and sunny today and 70's all week. Weeks like these almost make up for the extended chilly winters in this region of the US...almost. 

I plan to take advantage of the nice temps and put the next rotation of beets, beans, spinach and lettuce in the ground...and I can't wait to reap what I sow.
