Harvest Season For Beets ~ North America ~

Beetroots will be ready to harvest in July or August if you did a fall planting. Plant beets NOW and you will have beets ready to HARVEST in late September through early November. Eat the outer leaves for salad while the beets are still in the ground.

And The Beet Goes On!🎶

SMOOTHIES are such a great start to the day! This one was really yummy! In most beet drinks I’ve had, there is an overwhelming beet flavor. This one has a much more subtle beet taste. But, you can definitely still taste beet in the smoothie. The color was so beautiful!! Throw all of the ingredients together in the blender and enjoy!
