Airehead Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share #11 Posted October 13, 2017 I really don't think it is a beet. I think it is backer than any beet I have seen. Tomorrow I will slice it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow I will slice it I am sticking with beetroot as well. At that size, it will be pretty fibrous though. Maybe juice or soup it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn Posted October 13, 2017 Share #13 Posted October 13, 2017 It looks like the beets I grew last year. Bake it or boil it with the skin on. After boiling the skin will slip right off. I peed purple all last fall. I had about six that were that size and about a bushel normal size ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good ideas, but it looks suspicious to me. I'd sprinkle it with Holy Water just to be safe and set it out on the front porch overnight. On the odd chance it sprouts into an alien or a Chia Pet, it will be easier to hose the mess off the steps than scrape it out of your carpets.

Airehead Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share #24 Posted October 14, 2017 So, it is definitely not a beet. I say it is a black radish. I am growing more afraid with each new fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
