The Ants Go Marching One by One, Hurrah, Hurrah...

I took these pictures yesterday, at the same time I photographed the tree. It was around 6.30am, and it was really eerie outside, foggy and mysterious. It was pretty special, foggy and mysterious doesn't happen that often in Brisbane.

This photo made me think of rows of soldiers, marching in unison.
Attention!
The above photo is the beetroot I planted a few weeks ago, you can see the seedlings here. If you are in a hot climate like Brisbane, the planting season actually ended today, so run out and grab your seeds or seedlings right now! If you are in a warm climate you have from now until March, and cool climates can wait, start planting in February. You can see what type of climate you have here. That link is for Australia, NZ and the UK. For other countries I found a pretty generic one here, but you'd be better off googling your own country individually. I put in "climate zone for vegetable growing".

The photo below is what I am going to make when all of my lovely beetroot are ready to pick. Beetroot dip, yum o. Can't go past a good dip. The photo and recipe are from here, but I'll post it again when my beetoot are ready to go.
If you would like some facts about growing beetroot, take a look at the plonk and watch fact sheet, but be warned, it's a work in progress :)
