beets, ugh

So I pulled a few Beets from the neglected patch the other day. They did not look good at all.

And guess what, they didn't taste good either. I don't know if it was the heat, the bugs, the weeds crowding them out, or all three. Probably they just got too old, too. Ended up on the compost pile. I guess the rest will follow them. This just isn't my year for gardening. Blah.
