Green thumb.

I do have to admit that they did look like strange beets but beets is what we planted along with carrots and lettuce. Since carrots and lettuce were growing those other plants had to be beets. I lovingly watered them daily and removed the weeds from the garden so they could grow. Then one day I saw my neighbors beets and they looked nothing like mine. Must be a different variety I thought. Just to be sure I pulled one out. Well it was not a beet at all just a big healthy weed. Some of the healthiest ones must have been well over two feet tall. The first foray into gardening has been interesting...

Hysterical! The children probably won't know the difference, throw them in a salad.
Good for you guys for growing a garden though...I"m impressed. I have watered weeds myself wondering why they weren't blooming into the beautiful flowers I thought I planted.
