First successful beetroot harvest!

I'm so proud to have had my first successful beetroot harvest yesterday! I've tried growing them before but they were tiny. These ones grew so quick and the leaves were huge and roots a decent size. I planted them as seedlings 8 weeks ago and they shot up. I still have a few more in the bed that are growing much more slowly.

I made a lot of changes since last trying to grow them that I think made a big difference. This time, I planted them in a raised bed with loose soil instead of directly in the ground. I filled the bed halfway with sticks, logs and organic matter and the rest with bagged garden soil. I also set up an irrigation system so they were watered more consistently. They were so delicious roasted!!
