I bookmarked the site for next year. They have some unusual varieties. I like the idea of the cylindrical beets. Sure make canning them easier. And albino beets? Who'd a  thunk it.

  Albino beets, they taste the same as the orange and red ones, several grew in my garden last year.  I just finished harvesting the seeds today.

Cool Annarchy. I figured they might. I can see an advantage over the red ones. The red is rea!ly messy and stains so bad. I thought it would be fun to pickle some of the orange ones just for a change.

 

I like colorful fruit and veggies though. I think they have more something (I don't know what) in them. Antioxidants maybe? It's probably all in my mind but I heard it somewhere.

This is not the same topic, but I hate to open a new one for something that will be out of date in two weeks.

I just renewed membership in the seed savers exchange.  They have the best info on seed saving at the family level that I have ever seen.  And Jeepers, the white beets are cool.  The only "odd" colored veggies I stay away from are the green tomatoes.  I planted some green beefsteaks and could not tell when they were ripe!  Tasted good though.  But nobody I showed them to wanted to try the green tomato salsa I made, nor the yellow tomato salsa.  No imagination!  I thought they were pretty....
