I'm growing them too, they're among my favourite ones. I love the watermelon radishes, they're sweet (I mean, actually sweet, like fruit) when you first bite them, then become pungent on your tongue.Grazianahttp://www.erbeincucina.it/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-6734980543708100222012-11-13T07:03:49.522-05:002012-11-13T07:03:49.522-05:00This is a good thing to do with beets.

If you increase the recipe, cut back on the vinegar or it is too strong.<br /><br />Harvard Beets, from Fannie Merritt Farmer<br /><br />Wash twelve small beets, cook in boiling water until soft, remove skins, and cut beets in thin slices, small cubes, or fancy shapes, using French vegetable cutter. Mix one-half cup sugar and one-half tablespoon corn-starch. Add one-half cup vinegar and let boil five minutes. Pour over beets, and let stand on back of range one-half hour. Just before serving add two tablespoons butter.<br />Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-78708751955620520162012-11-12T20:20:09.687-05:002012-11-12T20:20:09.687-05:00I am so impressed by what you get in the winter.

The aphids and ants attacked it and made a mess of things. I think I've finally got that mess under control but I'm not sure that the plants will bounce back very well. My husband would have loved it if I had managed to get some beets growing this fall - too bad, I'll have to buy him some at the farmer's market.Michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-65997105867489636922012-11-12T11:09:17.232-05:002012-11-12T11:09:17.232-05:00Isn't it a nice feeling to be able to garden i...Isn't it a nice feeling to be able to garden in the snow - even if you really don't want to so much?!

In my Massachusetts garden, I remember covering them with leaves or placing the cold frame over the carrots and continuing to harvest into the winter. <br /><br />A cold night for us in San Diego last night: low humidity and 42 degrees.
