I need to try growing garlic next, since onions were such fun. Only two of those plots are mine. Since we live in an apartment, I got a raised bed at the community center. ($6 per year per bed - and the city pays for the water. Pretty good deal even if you do have a yard.)Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-34018465970434667862013-06-21T15:33:50.187-07:002013-06-21T15:33:50.187-07:00Hi Shelley - I'm not crazy about beets, but th...Hi Shelley - I'm not crazy about beets, but the seeds were free and they grew so easily. I mean, I like beets just fine, but there are so many other vegetables that I love. Beet green are so much more delicious than the beets - but then maybe I just prefer greens. I don't think there was even a concept of cattle food before the invention of barbed wire. (Just saying.)

Oh, and I threw in what I thought was a mild red pepper, which gave a real kick to the whole pot of broth. Glad I didn't put it in a salad - it was super hot!Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-76479960649994412472013-06-21T15:20:30.743-07:002013-06-21T15:20:30.743-07:00Hi Darla - And it's been so much fun to watch ...Hi Darla - And it's been so much fun to watch it all grow!Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-31200842279753226712013-06-21T05:29:01.456-07:002013-06-21T05:29:01.456-07:00Sensational garden.

Your garden is fantastic. I love heirloom tomatoes and the Cherokee Purple is one of my favorites. I harvested my garlic a few days ago. A first for me. Do you use fertilizer on your vegetable plants?sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-11956178700044155042013-06-21T03:28:09.445-07:002013-06-21T03:28:09.445-07:00Can't say I've ever deliberately made vegg...Can't say I've ever deliberately made veggie broth, but I have saved the water after boiling vegetables for dinner...does that count? I love beet greens, I really do, and I don't think I ever would have tasted them except that we grew some beets. Bill keeps talking about how we live off what used to be cattle food, but I don't care! It's still fair, I think, to complain about the heat - though it's really the humidity that makes it so miserable. The same temperatures in Salt Lake City are almost bearable.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-76246587242010955332013-06-20T23:47:17.919-07:002013-06-20T23:47:17.919-07:00Beryl, your vegetable gardens are quite amazing! ...Beryl, your vegetable gardens are quite amazing! You are getting some very good results. I like the sound of the broth - apart from the leaves etc do you add other flavoring?Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.com
