Update: You Can't Beet Arugula

This morning (I'm finally done with back-dated posts), March 19, we finally got to check in on our little farm after our trip to SXSWi (including the Delicious Tech panel on Food 2.0 which got us fired up about the many opportunities to use technology to help people eat better). We were a little nervous because California finally got some sunshine and we were far away and unable to water.

Fortunately for us, it looks like everything is moving along. This morning, we were ecstatic to notice two rows of beets coming up! I am obsessed with beets - roasted, grated, cubed, pureed, sorbet-ed (yum, Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream in the Mission). So I'm glad to see we're well on our way to having beets of our very own. We planted Ferry Morse Organic Tall Top Early Wonder Beets.



Still, the arugula/rocket is putting the rest of the plants to shame. The thinning may come sooner than we're ready (emotionally, I mean) at this rate.



Note: Apologies for the photography. As great as the iPhone camera is, it leaves a bit to be desired in low light. We'll switch to our Nikon going forward, and may even get our hands on a DSLR soon.
