What a kindness your neighbour showed! You have reminded me to plant potatoes. Beetroot is one of my favourites as you can eat the tops as well as roast them and pickle them... a great vegie to make the most of. I didn't know that about the potassium in potato skins cleaning the pipes!!!
He was my christmas miracle! :) I am so not a fan of beets, they taste like dirt LOL BUT I do love the tops!! and they make an amazing dye!! My mom used to pickle them. Always n the table for christmas dinner!
Good memories!
