Oops Should Have Checked These Organic Vegetables Sooner!
We picked some Organic Silverbeet for dinner tonight and whilst I was out there I thought I would just check the beets and turnips. We are having a nice family roast dinner tomorrow and I need a few veges to roast. Anyway, went digging about the garden bed and find myself confronted with these huge vegetables!
The beetroot I am familiar with since they will grow large if you let them. I usually eat them small, they tend to be less tough that way. Though, I must say the organic beetroot seem to be quite tender even at this sort of enormous size.
I cleaned them up and bagged them for the fridge – friends and relatives may get a few this week!
Not that they mind!
Our Vegetable Loving Cavalier
I also chopped up a little turnip for the dog tonight – after he gets his meat based food we always give him fruit and vegetables. He loves capsicum, carrots and cucumber. Yes I know he is a carnivore but he loves his vegetables.
The vegetable feeding started as a puppy!
I remember one year he managed to eat all my snow-peas – I could not work out why I was losing peas every day until I caught him red-pawed – biting them straight off the bush! Then last year he started eating the capsicums that fell on the ground from the wind.
What can you do?
I have to put up fences now to keep him out!
This dog eats better than a lot of kids I know! Don’t let the cute act fool you!
Until next time!
