Beets , turnips , zukes , cabbage , brocoli , cauliflower , shallots , tomato's ....

I do this with green onion tops, Plant the small part on the bottom and it continues to grow. If I'm running low in the planter I buy some more and plant them. Good to know it works on celery, I never use the whole pack.

Bubba, how are the fresh beets? I'm not a huge fan of them canned, but was curious about trying them fresh. Think it's worth using up a few squares in my garden? I'm sure someone would happily take them if I don't like it.

Fresh beets boiled till tender in a little salted water and drizzled with a little vinegar are one of my favorites.
