May 8, 2022

A beet-tacular episode full of information on this often ignored but amazing veggie.  The humble beet, a well rooted sister of Swiss chard, is grown for both roots and tops and is a healthy addition to your diet.  This cool season crop can be planted early and then planted again and again giving you a continual harvest.

We want to credit some great extension publications that we used in today's show:
