Root Vegetables from the Garden

The cold weather finished off a lot of our winter crop.  Spinach - gone.  Turnips - gone.  Mustard Greens - gone.  Beets - mostly gone.  Many of the winter crop was just too small when the cold weather hit and they couldn't survive.  At least some of the beets survived.  We've been slowly picking them and eating them.  The Bull's Blood beets had to be replanted.  I think in another couple of weeks, we may have some that will be ready.  Here are some nice Detroit Red beets.

Then there's the carrots.  I replanted a couple of rows of carrots.  The existing carrots were hurt, but are just now maturing.  Atomic Red Carrots and Cosmic Purple Carrots.  For supper last night, I pulled some Danvers Carrots and some Uzbek Yellow Carrots.

We sliced them up, tossed them in olive oil, roasted them in the oven and sprinkled fresh cut parsley on top.  

What a feast!  We could eat this every night and not get tired of them!
