Betteraves rouges de Détroit

Bonjour,

C’était la première fois que je semais cette betterave l’année dernière.

Elles étaient tout simplement grosses et d’un beau rouge. 😱

Nous venons de manger le dernier pot de betteraves marinées. 😔

J’ai bien hâte de refaire ce jardin avec tous vos semis.

Merci 🙋‍♀️

We think you'll also love...
