I gave the cucumbers some breathing room. A pot of beets is cooking. There was a white one, that I verified did smell like a beet, and some of the striped ones, along with all the ones that are suppose to be Detroit dark red beets. There's more but these were the biggest ones shading the cucumbers.

Here’s my #Recipe for my #Winter #Lunch that I’m gonna repeat until I get sick of it for this part of my #WeightLoss #Obesity #Recovery journey.

#MealPrep: Roast whatever starchy veg you want. I’m gonna make a roast dinner for my family once per week and cook enoug veg for my lunches. This time I’m using #Potato #Kūmara (#Sweetpotato ) and #pumpkin but I also like #Yam #Swede #Carrot #Parsnip and #beetroot.

Pre chop spinach or silverbeet.

On the day:
Microwave a bowl of roast veggies.
Add 1-2tbsp butter or olive oil to a pan. Then add #Tofu or #Egg and #Spinach or #Silverbeet. Add whatever herbs or spices you feel like, but if you need ideas, try:
-Onion and garlic powder
-Cajun spice mix
-Cumin and corriander powder
-Soy sauce, garlic and sesame oil.
(I’m also open to #Suggestions)

Put the fried stuff on top of the microwaved veggies. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Potato field cleaned up a bit. A lot of grass came through in the back, no wonder as this was an overgrown area until this spring. In the front, more thistles than grass :)

However, the potatoes are doing great. Almost all of them grew, only very few gaps got replanted from the backup pots.

On the left are some pumpkins, which actually did germinate in the end, it just took them ages, so I spread them around the mounds.

Oh, and one row of beetroot, which had some trouble, but enough of them made it. Might spread them around a bit, but they have very deep roots already and are difficult to replant.

Got some good rain last night, soaking the soil and filling the barrel.

How did beetroot end up on our burger?

Well rats! It looks like I'll have to plant my #beets in the #CommunityGarden, since I'm growing #Chard in the home garden. Oh well..

The #Beetroot Family

"Wind-pollinated members of the Beet Family have very light pollen and need up to 2 to 5 miles for safe distance isolation. Chard and beets are in the same species (Betula vulgaris) and must be isolated from each other or they will cross. Different Beet Family species will not cross-pollinate, so that one beet or chard, one quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), one red (Chenopodium giganteum) and one white (C. alba) lamb's quarters, one orach (Atriplex hortensis) and one spinach (Spinacia oleracea) can all be grown together without danger of crossing.

"You can bag or cage varieties of the same species for isolation, but techniques vary depending on whether the species will self-pollinate or not. Quinoa and lamb's quarters are self-pollinating, so large paper bags can simply be fastened over individual seed heads for protection from cross-pollination. Since quinoa and lamb's quarters produce many small seed heads up and down their stems, mark the protected seed heads so that you can tell them from unprotected ones at harvest time.

"Beets, chard, orach and spinach will not pollinate themselves. These plants need to be caged or bagged in groups so that they can pollinate each other. At least 10 or more plants should be included in each cage or bag for adequate cross-pollination, and to help insure that there are twice as many female as male plants.

"Bags or cages need to be windproof to prevent intermingling of the very light pollens. Shake the plants together within their bags or cages regularly, to help the pollen mix move around inside the cage/bag for good pollination. "

Watson, you have the gift. Your breakfast is so much pleasanter than Mrs Hudson's. Nourishing but light. It's hard to get the balance right. Those fried beetroot slices are a stroke of genius, Watson.
