I on the otherhand do not care for them at all.
Yesterday morning the wife was saying she had to chase a deer out of the garden firt thing when she got up.
So last night I took the tiller out and did some cultivating and when I came in she asked how much damage the deer had done.
I told her I saw no damage, but tracks showed it had jumped right over the Beets.
Her response (with a twinkle in her eye) was " Yeah like you'd care if it ate all my beets"!

NRALifer was saying he loved his beets from the garden.

Your wife is absolutely correct in Deer loving beets.We can't grow beets at our place the Deer clean them right out.The only way I was able to grow them was to put them between two rows of pole beans with a fence on either end.Larry

hmm Maybe that is the deterent then? There is a row of beets, 3 rows of potatoes and then two rows of pole beans and a 5 ft fence for each of the bean rows to climb.Your wife is absolutely correct in Deer loving beets.We can't grow beets at our place the Deer clean them right out.The only way I was able to grow them was to put them between two rows of pole beans with a fence on either end.Larry

I haven't ever tried them fried tho... I wonder if you can? Most stuff like that is better fried and smothered in butter.

We could pickle beets and add some hard boiled eggs and POLE BEANS!
