Beet Greens bring back some memories from my childhood, I forgot how great tasting they are! I didn't realize they could be harvested that way, I will surely be adding them to my garden next year, thanks for sharing!

+Josh Smith I didn't know this either until I experimented with them. Been clipping them since spring and still clipping cause the greens are under hoops.

I started growing beet greens last year when I found a bundle of organic beetroot (tops had been cut off) on offer at my local supermarket. I planted the roots in pots on my windowsill and they just keep growing! despite being harvested regularly...I now keep a regular look- out for the organic bargain beets and have them in pots all over my apartment. Best veg ever and full of potassium

My grandmother was born in 1889 and when I was a little kid told me that girls used to slice a beet and dab it across their cheeks to give them rosy cheeks. She made the absolute best pickled baby beets ever. I love beets.

First time doing a garden this year. I can see my beet greens popping up already!

That is a great food crop I will have to add this to my garden thanks.

Im going to have to try this, thank you

Another great video JC, thanks!

Just found this channel, good points on growing greens. I will certainly make some changes for next season. Thanks

Hi JC, I love beets but never knew the greens were eatable. Can't wait to try some next year. Thanks for your wealth of knowledge in a lot of areas that you share. Have a great day and keep living the dream!

+Greg H. Yep, the greens carry more nutrition than the beet itself. Enjoy :-)

J.C. I like that you took the time to reach out to those who you are unable to reply to and let them know you read their comments! it shows your character and the type of person you are! That attitude is in part what makes your vids some i eagerly watch for and enjoy spending time watching. Beet greens and turnip greens were a part of what I grew up on. Fry up some bacon and stir the greens in with some spices and serve with beans and corn bread! Brings back memories for sure....
