Hi Butterflywing! Of course I do not grow beets! You buy them at the market! My mother used to oil them and bake them in the oven until soft (like a potato). But you can roast them or boil them.
I did find a trick that is way cool though. When you are cutting up green onions for a salad, cut the tip about a little larger than a quarter inch where the roots are and stick them into the gorund. They regrow themselves. You can even keep a pot of these in your kitchen. So easy and you are never without an onion.
