The Man picked me some beets the other day. I had asked him for 6 or 8, knowing they were getting rather large and I only wanted to do a canner load of pints. He brought these in... and said he only picked six since that's all that would fit in the garden hod.
Holy cats those are huge! Notice the paring knife...
I only peeled and diced three of them and got 7 pints to can and another pint to eat fresh.
Our garden kicks butt!!
