Thank you Martin!
Got your seeds yesterday and it made my evening! There is something magical about seeds, they contain the secret of life. Just holding those packets fires up your dreams and imagination. They are already grown and producing in my head!

Told my dad and he's as excited as I am. :) Gonna share them with him, he's the one I inherited my love of gardening from.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Martin,
We will be eating the last of the beets tonight with supper. Just wanted you to know that they were delicious and very much appreciated!

In case anyone wants a good recipe for them, here's one I got off the web:

about 5 good sized (2-3 inch) beets
1 packed Tablespoon brown sugar (having a sweet tooth I used two). :)
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
little pepper (I didn't use any)
1 Tablespoon corn starch

Leave root and about two inches of stem on beets. Steam beets until you can poke a fork into them, then rub the skin off under cold water. Slice beets about 1/4 inch thick.

Mix OJ, vinegar, salt, pepper, brown sugar, and cornstarch together and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. After the sauce thickens, add the sliced beets and cook until tender, around 30 minutes.

Yum,
SBJ
