"Beetroots are brilliant. Originally cultivated for their leaves, which you can use the way you do spinach, it was only later people discovered the best part: The root. Its earthy flavour, with a slight sweetness and a deep intensity matched only by its colour, is worth celebrating."

The #garden is in full summer swing mode: #cucumbers, Swiss #chard, #tomatoes, #zucchini squash, #aubergine, #beetroots and #beans and #peppers and lots of other veggies allow for shopping the garden for meals. Best time of the year probably.

The aubergines are tricky, the "Casper" variety produces white fruit that are small but full of seeds. Another variety does not produce any fruit yet, flowers are falling off. More salads and winter leek are waiting to be planted so I might substitute.

Our local allotment put out a shedload of head-sized beetroots by honesty box, so … borscht! 🌱
