Bob is Polish, grew up in Penn. with a Polish group of people. They know beets. He has called his sister who grew beets in Penn. to ask her which beets are sweet ones to grow. He left a message for her to call him with the names of sweet beets. When he gets an answer, I'll post it.
There are cans of beets in the pantry here and Bob cuts them up and puts them in salad. His salads are delicious. I don't cook here. Bob cooks or we buy food ready to eat or go to restaurants. We buy veggies at “Sprouts” store or Kroger and get some things from Walmart. I also don't clean anything, maids do that every other week. He is 79 and I'm 80 so using other people for cleaning and keeping up the yard keeps us from killing ourselves doing those tasks.
Thank you for looking into that.
I’m of Polish and Ukrainian descent and know what both sides can do with a garden. They had a way with plants.
Those folks from the old country really knew their stuff and I wish now that I could go back and learn it from them. Sadly, it was lost in my parents generation so I’m trying to learn the stuff the hard way.
That’s so nice to have help cleaning. When I started driving back and forth to St. Louis to work (75 miles away)my Grandma pulled me aside, and told me to get a housekeeper.
She said there’s no way you can do all that needs to be done on the job and with your family unless you have one.
She was right, and it was great. Can’t afford one at present, but some day, when I get older, I am hoping we can. Guess it depends on how bad inflation gets at this point.
