Hey beet babe! I've been harvesting mine too - grated beetroot with EVERYTHING - dinner looks like someone bled out in the kitchen! Yes, they don't mind the cold and in fact they grow at mine all winter for a Spring harvest. I can't grow them in summer as the ground's too dry and they bolt. My other fave tuber is SWEDE or what you call rutabaga - it's the best thing ever mashed with a bit of potato or roast. Yum.

Looks like your seed saving efforts are going admirably. You knwo I've never grow carrrots? Do they taste like INFINITELY better than supermarket ones? I've never been a fan. The kids (well, 26 yo son) does a pickled carrot, or a fermented one - just a bit of brine and ready in a few days and I like that - it'd be cool to do that with my own carrots.

Sorry I took so long to get to you. You know the story. As it snows there, the sun is out in full force here which makes time go even faster!

Love you you and @farm-mom !
