I do not want to create a run on locally, grown
organic beets, but I consider them one of the
most Valuable Things to possess right now.
Take a look at this great website TIbesti:
http://www.tibesti.com/Worlds_Most_Expensive_Cradle/154/1
This page features the most expensive
items you can have, including a cradle made out of
gold for a mere $7900.00.
What can you do with an item like that?
It would be good for giving your baby a sense of
wealth I imagine.
A silver one might be more practical.
Sliver eminates the ability to kill off bacteria.
Then we come back to beets.
I am so happy that President Obama
is getting a reputation of hating them.
Maybe that will chill the run on the Farmers' Markets
of people who want a locally, grown organic beet.
What can you do with a locally, grown organic beet?
You can replant it in a pot
in the richest possible soil.
I recommend FOXFARM blend from the Ocean and Land.
YOu can KEEP the BEET.
You can continue to harvest the greens.
You can eat the greens raw or steamed or
in other ways. You beetroot will continue to grow.
You will have a supply of greens for a very long time.
They just keep growing back.
Growing a beet in a pot like this can create
a Moment of Awakening. Wow!! I can grow some
of my own food!!!!
Some people start asking, what else can I grow in a pot?
Others ask, what else can I grow in the ground?
This can be very stabilizing, and also enriching.
There are other things to learn from
growing a beet in a pot.
How much does a University Education cost these days?
Around $30,000 or more for some.
One KEEP the BEET can teach you how
to regain your relationship with growing things.
Whether you are in a relationship with the opposite
sex or the same sex, everyone can benefit
from improving relationships.
Have you any idea what advantage this can be
in saving a marriage, finding a mate, or attracting
a sweetheart??????
When a man learns how be in a healthy relationship
with growing things, this gives him sex appeal.
When a woman learns how to be in a healthy relationship
with growing things, this gives helps her understand a man.
I was watching a video the other night on T.V.
that described the phase of some women's life
when they like a more bullish kind of guy.
but the trend I find it that many women today
appreciate a sensitive, present, loving kind of gent
who not only eminates sex appeal and masculine traits
but gives a woman a sense that he is trustworthy--
worthy of being trusted with your deepest and most
vulnerable expressions.
A woman is like a flower in many ways.
Growing a beet can help you grow your relationship.
It can increase your sensitivity.
Have you any idea what the cost of a divorce is today?
A bad relationship can ruin your day,
or your life. It is enough to give you a bad hair day
for sure.
What else can you learn from growing a beet?
You can learn you can grow food!
For thousands of years, until maybe
the last 150, many more people then are alive today,
relatively speaking, knew that if push came to shove
they could always grow something to eat.
Today, more and more kids have no idea how seeds
work.
Here is a Little Quiz to test your own awareness:
Do you imagine you are an expert seed grower?
Think about this.
Do you have to think about that????
Of course, you are an expert seed grower.
It comes with the territory of being human.
Almost every woman and man has seeds inside.
Think again...do you realize that all the other seeds
( that includes beets...that grow from seeds)...are
are something that needs to be valued, that needs
to protected?????
Protect your seeds.
Those words are coming to me so strongly these days.
That also means protect all the seeds that grow your food
because they too belong to you and are growing you....
Enough!!!
I have other things I want to write about....

On SAVING BEET SEEDS from this site:
Saving your own Beetroot Seed:
Beetroot seed is fairly easy, provided you
don't have any chard or leaf beet flowering nearby.
Beetroot flower in their second year,
so you need to either leave them in the ground overwinter,
or dig up your beetroots in Autumn.
Lay them all out so you can compare them, and select the
best 10 - 15 roots:
Make sure you choose ones that are true-to-type:
right colour, shape & size.
If your area has cold winters, store them
in sand or sawdust in a cool but frost-free place, and plant out in spring.
(the ideal is about 5-10 C and 95% humidity).
Otherwise in milder areas, replant them straight away
where you want them to grow.
The next summer they will flower (to about 5 foot high!).
They will probably need staking so that they don't fall over.
Remember, that they will cross with any other flowering beetroots,
chard or leaf beet nearby. The flowers are wind pollinated.
... Your seed will be ready in late summer.
Just rub the seed off when it is mostly brown.
You will get huge amounts of seed: dry it well,
and it will be good for 3 or more years.
Above you can see a good trick with beetroot
or chard seed. Our rubber door mat has holes in it.
We just stomp on the dry seed-stalks ,
then roll back the mat and sweep up the seed.
Seed-saving instructions are included with your seeds,
so you can do this yourself.
And of course, seed-saving
is only possible because these are all real, non-hybrid varieties.
