I know they don't like anything in the way of weed competition or overcrowding.

Purple tea towels do sound exciting, especially if they were a bit dull before - not of course that I'd ever say that you had dull teatowels Dreamer - I'm not that rude :) Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-79834803067424772092013-10-07T08:07:04.271+01:002013-10-07T08:07:04.271+01:00You know I think wearing wedding dresses and eatin...You know I think wearing wedding dresses and eating beetroot isn't the best idea. Remind me of that in a couple of weeks. WE are doing the wedding grub as we're shamelessly skimpy - when I say we I mean a bunch of us slaves and a very lovely tame proper cheflet person (aka Aunty C). First attempt at Burpees Golden - they seem nice if a bit peerie wallie. Warm bread, goats cheese and beetroot - now you're talking!Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-86878628977772345122013-10-06T19:52:05.803+01:002013-10-06T19:52:05.803+01:00Goodness, your'e doing your own wedding feast ...Goodness, your'e doing your own wedding feast too?! Wow! Impressive beetroot haul. My Burpees Golden have been pathetic this year, which is a shame as previously I found them rather tasty, a little sweeter than Boltardy (which I couldn't be without), and really good raw in a salad. Best pick my last beetroot too, though it is still warm here - but I have some rather tasty bread and some nice goats cheese that would go rather well with some roasted beetroot. I shan't wear my wedding dress either!Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-64043058651053407112013-10-06T11:35:58.072+01:002013-10-06T11:35:58.072+01:00 have never been abel to grow beetrots, get all h... have never been abel to grow beetrots, get all happy as see the leaves shoot up , but then not much at all at the root :(<br /><br />Sharonx<br />www.onelifeand3kids.blogspot.co.ukAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374600534592412579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-84631802354512092612013-10-06T08:40:58.068+01:002013-10-06T08:40:58.068+01:00My outdoor beets came to nothing too this year but...My outdoor beets came to nothing too this year but I did get a bunch of cylindrical ones from a friend.
