From The Jardine

I often tell people I grew up on a farm. This is a bit inaccurate since, though my mother had a huge garden and we grew alfalfa etc for hay, it was actually a cattle ranch and dairy.

Here at Casa Thompsons, Sheri grows sweet potatoes. Mostly for the flowers, which are quite beautiful, but also for the roots for comida. 

So this morning she incidentally harvested a small volunteer vegetable that was growing along with the sweet potatoes. Wow I thought, "What a cute little beet!" And as you can see it is pretty darn cute.

I spent a good portion of the day today with the Go-Gos song "We got the Beat!" going through my head. But after about 6 hours of this, I was informed that the identification of the veggie was a bit off.

Still cute though - Hey?
