Garden Update: Beets and Visitors

The beets are big and ready to eat.  I love the beets tops cooked like spinach.  I picked a few small carrots too to make room for the tomato plants to grow.  The carrot tops go to the chickens; they love them.

This is the beet patch before I picked a few and after a hard rain that laid everything over.

The rain left little droplets of water on each tip of the tomato leaves.  It looked pretty cool.  (Click on the picture for a full size version with a lot more detail.)

We also had some visitors to the garden.  There was a parent and four, large, kids.  They have made several repeat visits.  As long as they stick to the grass and leave the garden alone, I'm happy to leave them alone.
