Among all the canning supplies, sits a baby bottle. Once put away, now here they are again! Praise God♡♡♡

I LOVE beet greens and roasted veggies. My hairdresser said a couple of months ago that she wasn't going to bother planting a garden this year because it's too much work, seeing that you can just go to the farmers' market and buy what you need. Today she said that she went to the market this weekend, and was horrified at the prices the farmers charged. She said that she left without buying anything but 3 small zucchini and is sorry she didn't grow a garden. I planted more than I have in the past and I'm grateful for that wisdom. Thank you Tipper for sharing your bounty with us.

I eat beets for the dirt flavor! Thank You Corie, Thank You Katie for naming that wonderful taste!

Years ago my Wife and I would pickle beets. Later my Wife would heat up the beets with a butter sauce and serve them as a side. Always wonderful and one of my favorite sides. The hot beet pickling liquid would then sometimes be used to pickle boiled eggs which after cooled a little would continue to pickle in the refrigerator. The eggs were a great treat for an evening snack. Back in the 1960s and 1970s we used everything as many times as possible.

I am always impressed by your garden harvest each summer. What a bounty!! 🍅🌽🥔🥕🥬🫛🍉🫐😊

Feed your family, was a good statement that describes TIpper and Matt , the reason for all the hard work gardening and all the good meals you all prepare.

Your carrots remind me...when my son was a little fella, just 3 or 4, he loved watching the Looney Toon cartoons, Bugs Bunny being his favorite. He also loved carrots and once while shopping, he asked me to buy the Bugs Bunny carrots. I was confused and asked him to show me what he meant. He pointed to the carrots with their tops still on because in the cartoons, whenever Bugs ate carrots, they always had their tops on! So I peeled the carrot, leave the top on and he happily wander around the house, munching his carrot. I adore beets, regardless of the dirt flavor, but if you use plenty of butter....yummy. Hubby doesn't like them, but he does like pickled beets which I do not.

We love roasted beets and carrots. Your supper looks yummy. Glad you're getting rain. Have a great evening.

My wife is Polish and we eat beets alot. She has a way of preparing them you might want to try ! After cooked, grate them on a coarse cheese grater (crazy messy of course!) and then put into large frying pan with a tbs of butter, tbs of sour cream, and a squeezed lemon. The lemon brightens up the colour. Mix and warm up and serve. AMAZING. Nice change from slices or cubes, and it gets rid of that "dirt" flavour Katie complains about it (my kids say the same thing !)

So special to walk to the back yard and gather veggies for supper. You sure can make me hungry!

Onions turn out so sweet when roasted

One of the nice things about pickled beets, aside from that they taste good cold on a hot day, is that they do double duty. When the beets are all gone you can add the juice to your pickled eggs. The add a good flavor and dye the egg whites a pretty pink color.

I was not aware that each beet plant only grows one beet. So this year, we're expecting 3 whole beets!

Tipper, this is just my favorite way to eat. Building a meal around what’s coming out of the garden. Thanks so much for sharing. I was wondering how your carrots were doing. Good job! Bless you and your sweet family.

I've never had beets any other way besides pickled. I always like the young vegetables, except potatoes and tomatoes. Give me the baby carrots and cucumbers all day, everyday!

I'm so jealous of your wonderful garden. I live in an apartment and we can't have anything on our patio. I hated beets growing up but when I got pregnant with my son I craved them and he and I still eat them. God Bless You All.

Nothing better than suppers with everything from the garden. Makes all of the work worth it. Love beets, most especially in borscht! Beautiful, delicious & so good for you.

Tipper, OMGOSH! What a delicious meal you have made ❤. Beets are my absolute favorite no matter how there cooked. I’m the one that asked you how to grow beet’s, either seeds or an already started plant. I was never able to find beet plants anywhere in Northern Illinois, where I live. I was very disappointed ☹️. One suggestion I have for you is, when making picked beet’s, boil with the skins on. Cool and the skin will peel off so easily and it keeps the nutrients in the beet’s. Also, if you par boil your beet’s for roasting, the skins will come off easily too and roasting them won’t take as long. Your so lucky to have been able to grow your own!! I just know how delicious they are, homegrown 💕🙏🙏

Hi Tipper, That supper looked sooo good. There is us norhing like fresh food from a garden, especially if you grew it. Love yall
