Turnips and Beets...

The turnip and beet seeds we ordered arrived in the mail today along with an email regarding the upcoming furlough notices.  We don't really like beets or furlough notices, but will be trying to live with both...but the beets were our idea...we just want to see if they taste better right out of the garden.  I found this recipe and plan to give it a try.
