how beautiful! and the landscaping is lovely. worth the show part, definitely. the look part, as well.
i never lived in a brand new house. our first house was about 40 yrs old and the last one was from 1865. this one is about 50 years old. always in small, old towns outside NYC. who does the upkeep on the yards? (i didn't see any beet greens, so you must be right about growing them.)

Thanks so much! Hubby mows the lawn, I keep up the rest. It is pretty easy now that it is established. There were some real boogers that had me stumped at first. But though the years I have worked them out.
I used to plant green beans and chives in with the flowers just to give it interest. But I got tired of it. Although I miss my huge strawberry pot that I used to keep herbs in outside my kitchen door.
My sister has a full blown green house in her new old home. She doesn't even use it! Man! I would have year round veggies if it were mine. It has a drip and misting system and an a swamp cooler and heater!
Our home was six years old when we bought it. They just never had done anything with it. Crazy right?

We eat a lot of beets here. My DGD loves them. The beet relish I make is different than the one RedGarnett posted. I make mine with only grated beets and horseradish. It is awesome with roast beef. We use the greens also and make an old recipe using the leaves to wrap around bits of bread dough. Lots of chopped stems of beets, fresh dill and green onions dotted with butter in the pan and then baked. dipped in sour cream. Yummy! My baba showed me how to do this when I was a little girl and every time I make them I can see her in her colourful babushka.
