Today is the day- the first beetroot is ready to be pulled from the soil!

They are getting to a pretty good size, and it is sad in a way to pull them out of the ground. But, sacrifices need to be made in the name of cooking. The first crop is going to a good home, where my friend makes delish dishes like this beetroot, pumpkin and kale salad. Perfect cooking to make use of the produce from he backyard farm!
