I grew "Sun Sugar" along with our traditional "Sweet 100" for the first time this year. "Sun Sugar" is fabulous; I will definitely grow it again next year. Other than that, we have 3 huge basil plants waiting to turn into pesto if I can find reasonably-priced pine nuts ($34/lb ain't happening!), and probably at least 10 pounds each of carrots (Chantenay red core) and beets (Detroit dark red and cylindra) in the ground. We ate our first beets of the year this week. I plan to pickle most of the beets and keep the carrots through the winter in cold storage.Alixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422596380412965379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505334795452674189.post-63110504290966305272010-09-19T08:36:11.150-07:002010-09-19T08:36:11.150-07:00Nice job!
