Our fodder test garden has survived my inexperience and produced some pretty awesome beets!  This is the “Mammoth Red Mangels” variety, and we’re quite pleased with the results.

Your milage may vary, at one time Marion was the one of the nation’s top producers for root vegetables, we have awesome soil for this, although it’s been a bit farmed out over time and is loving the addition of manure we’re giving it now.
