Root Vegetables

ROOT VEGETABLES


The cooler months are here.  We say goodbye to peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, okra, and our beloved tomatoes.  The garden plots transform into a palette of leaves and roots.  I see plots filled with brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower to name a few).  I personally cannot pass up the opportunity to grow root vegetables.  The taste of homegrown carrots will leave a lasting memory on one's taste buds. Personally, I do not feed my family raw, store bought carrots...yes, we are spoiled! 

Perusing you tube channels, I found two interesting vlogs dedicated to root vegetables.  These two channels collaborated in the making of some very information and planting techniques of root vegetables.  I hope you will check out these vlogs.



ROOTS AND REFUGE FARMS- Have you wondered why most beets have an earthy flavor?  Jess is a life long learner; through her research, she presents very interesting information on the how and whys of carrots, beets, and radishes.  

WHOLESOME ROOTS- Rose has a special way of sowing those tiny root vegetable seeds.  Learn about her special techniques for planting carrots and how she cooks radishes and beets.  Yummy!
