Beetroot roots were made into a separate salad and the leaves and stems made into these quiche with onions anr tomatoes. Beetroot, tomatoes, onions and herbs came from the garden.

I was looking for caterpillar eggs on a beetroot leaf when my eye was caught by a bright orange dot on the leaf. But when I put the orange dot under the microscope I found that it wasn`t an egg, but a tiny mite which has buried its fangs into the back of a blackfly type bug, and was sucking out the contents.

If you look closely you can see its tiny red eyes either side of its head.

This image was taken at high magnification, x 400. The mite was about 0.5mm long.

I love how different they turn out to be.

My beetroot has gone to seed.

South African Health Minister Mantombazana Tshabalala-Msimang AKA Doctor Beetroot is Mbeki's righthand man in his denialist genocide of his own people.

Any idiot knows that nutrition is an important way to obtain optimum health to fight disease.

Dr Bloody Beetroot thinks that malnutrition is the root of AIDS and that it is not as a result of HIV infection.

Dr Bloody Beetroot is the health Minister for a country with 5.5 Million people living with HIV.

Dr Bloody Beetroot is seeped in scandal. Most recently it has been claimed that she was fast tracked for a liver transplant due to alcoholism and that the recommendation that a person be alcohol free for 1 year before any such transplant was ignored just for her.

Nice that she has special treatment whilst the people who elected her government are not afforded equal and fair access to the most basic of life saving drugs.

Just yum! Making the beetroort and red onion version of a tarte tartin. After I have cooked off the veg, throw a puff pastry top on and bake it, then turn it out and serve pastry side down with added goats cheese on top. Double yum!

The Imagine Durban project team has converted the flowerbeds in front of the City Hall into a vegetable garden as part of a pilot project to encourage residents to grow their own food.

Like waves of antlered Celtic knots.

There's something very satisfying about harvesting your own root veg. This year, the beetroot have worked well, so far.
