Thank you so much for this post. So much inspiration. I’m going for allergy shots this year, hoping I can get back to gardening, My FIL is establishing raised beds in our backyard this year.

I learned to love beets last summer – including the greens! – when visiting local farmers markets. Got my sister hooked too. Just roasting them with olive oil and salt and pepper is fantastic.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had them in months and miss then tremendously. Store-bought beets are junk. Made them once, my sister and I gagged, and they went into the garbage. No wonder people think they don’t like beets.

Quigs – I grind corn for cornmeal/flour in my Jupiter grain mill. I first grind it very coarse (so I won’t break the mill) and then grind it again at a finer setting. It works great.

Mary Campbell – I have made raisins from grapes (using my dehydrator). The sweeter the grapes, the more they will be like commercial raisins. They also need to be seedless. I just planted some Interlaken Seedless grapes last fall, which are a cross between Thompson Seedless (the kind used for most commercial raisins) and a northern variety for winter hardiness. I got them from Miller Nurseries in NY http://www.millernurseries.com

For those who find traditional red beets too intense, golden or yellow beets are milder in taste and color.

The garden mushrooms look interesting…I think we’ll try them this year.
