A cousin came last week to get some beets and up out of the ground came a huge beet. Look at the size of that beet. It’s a good thing when canning beets that size doesn’t matter. No matter how big they get, the texture and taste doesn’t seem to change.
Also in that same week, I went out to the garden in the early evening to see what my hubby was up to…..he was digging potatoes. It didn’t take me long to spot this one sitting on the ground next to other potatoes. We’re talking a whopping 10” long by 4.5” wide. A lot of the other potatoes were large but this one…..oh my, this one was the Godzilla of potatoes. I think we could invite family and friends over for dinner and feed them all off this one potato. I don’t think our potatoes have ever grown to this size.

Hi Marsha!
Wow, amazing beet! I love pickled beets, that one would fill a jar all by it's self! You guys must have the best soil in Idaho!
I live smack dab in the middle of potato country, and I promise, I have not seen a potato that big this year! That spud would be dinner for two, with left overs for a week! What a wonderful garden!!
Have a wonderful Sunday, enjoy conference!
Hugs,

I love beets and potatoes; so I would love this dinner. That is a whopping big potatoes. My father had a farm and grew potatoes. I remember working in the fields to harvest them. Hugs for the memories~
