Root Crops - Carrots, Beets, Turnips, Radish, Parsnips, Misc

Our neighbors across the fence gave us two sacks of beets today and some zucchini. So today for lunch, we sat down to some plain steamed greens with a little salt and butter. What luxury. The simplest of greens, so delicious. It's great to have neighbors who give you more than zucchini. The trouble is, I never have anything they are interested in trying. I'd love to share something I've grown with them. Oh well. I was thinking the beet greens would probably substitute nicely in Craig's swiss chard recipe. Have you ever received a gift of produce across the fence you really appreciated? Today those greens were just perfect.
