Major thinning of beets

Today's the day to harvest the beets.  I have three rows planted in the same bed as the okra ... rows alternating. Hot weather is coming.  It's time for the young okra to have its day in the sun.

I pulled mature beet plants and sorted through them, separating the roots from the tops.  Then off to the kitchen where I cooked the roots in the pressure cooker - 20 minutes gets the job done - and washed the greens, preparing them for the the cook pot in the near future.
