I pulled out the leggy arugula, snap peas and radishes in anticipation of heirloom tomatoes, okra and peppers. This is the only beet that made it from the whole packet of seeds, but what a beet! Ok, so maybe this beet cost 1.50 plus the expense of watering (or lack thereof since only one came up.) I simply boiled it in a little salted water, and sauteed the tops with some chard. The raised beds are holding up well and I hope to have a pretty good harvest this year since I added drip irrigation over the winter season.
