Why are you reporting this puzzle?

I do, but I wonder is there anyone of you who knows what they are too???

Hint: they grow in the vegetable garden. Where they grow on didn't do well and isn't edible anymore, so when it started to bloom we let it go on to see what the bloom would look like!

It sure is, Marilyn....or like Tom Hanks said: "life is a box of chocolate :)))

There are people more capable than I. I have grown spinach successfully and lettuce until my husband told me he did not like the lettuce I grew. So I now purchase the lettuce at the grocery store. Life is an adventure.

Impie

I can imagine that, Marilyn. We've already tried it a few years back, but had no beets then either. When we lived in our former home my hubby used to have a hobby vegetable garden for a couple of years. He grew Andive, spinach, lettuce, beets, and several different coals, cucumber, tomatoes and patatoes!!! We had wonderful harvests, so many that we shared with friends and family. Only after one season of spinach I ask him not to grow that anymore. His garden was sitting under a weeping willow tree!!!! Can you imagine???? The work it took to sift those willow leaves from the spinach leaves, then wash them several times, cook (just a short cook) and then smash it....all that work....on the plates the spinach was gone within maybe 5 minutes! LOL

I tried growing beets years ago and never produced any so I stopped trying to grow them.

Impie

☺☺

WOW!

Impie

No, he won't, Ella. They're as good as done now and so are the other plants. He will clean up the vegetable garden soon!
He had sown them for me as he's not that fond of beet root himself! He doens't have to go to all the trouble for me again, I'll go and buy them fresh at our local green grocer if I feel like having beet root for dinner!☺☺

EllaMB

So, the beets went to seed. Will Liertje save the seed and sow them in fall or whenever the time's right? I love pickled beets.

Impie

Well Faye, if the tubers had developed I would've eaten them too and they never had gotten to this stage! 😉😉😉

Smart to say they had a rabbit! LOL Reminds me of when I was a young girl. Our local butcher told that he had customers asking for 'meat product clippings' for their "cat, while he knew they ate it themselves! ☺☺

When we were kids our beets never got to this stage. They were eaten, frozen, or pickled too quickly. When my mum's cousin came over from England they were fascinated when my mum spoke of boiling the tops to eat like spinach. They had never heard of that so mum prepared some for dinner one night. They thought that the beet tops were "jolly good". So when they returned to London he would go down to the green grocer and say, "I have a rabbit. Could you save the beet tops for me, please?" The grocer usually tossed them...as few people over there had ever thought of boiling them either. Len was very smug about that. LOL 😉😉😉

Great to know, I never would have guessed it, either.

Atsutsa

Wow, I'd never come close to guessing that.

Impie

Thanks for your suggestions. If I hadn't known I would never have guessed it either. I'll reveal below:


ANSWER: it's overgrown "Beet "root"!!!!!

It was Liertje's first attempt to grow beet root and it looked like they were willing and grew fresh foliage, but not yet the nice red tasty tuber. Then the cold struck and we were hoping that after the cold it would develop further. Instead it started to overgrow...insects visited it too, so we left it until the bloom is gone and then clear the bottom of the vegetable garden from what's left! ☺☺☺

I am thinking it has wandered into your garden via a bird in flight because it looks astonishingly like Ragweed to me. In the fall it turns a dark rust colour and looks quite wonderful in dried flower arrangements.

Do let us know when you know Impie; fascinating. One year we had a volunteer we'd never seen before and took ages to identify as Chickory but where it came from is still a mystery. Looking forward to it's next outing on Jigidi.

Is it a tomatoe plant?

jojosmom417

I agree with Ella--grows on a stalk, it sounds like the dreaded Brussels Sprouts. Sherry

Atsutsa

Fascinating, but I'm clueless.

gemstone

Let's see...I think L. planted green pepper...

GOSPELGRANDMA

I have no idea what it is, Impie! ☺☺

EllaMB

Since it's on a stalk, I'm wondering if it's brusselsprouts?

Impie

Ik ga het nog even niet verklappen, schutkleur, maar het is in elk geval géén augurk en ook géén paprika! ☺♥

schutkleur

M'n eerste gedachte was één van de vele soorten zuring. Maar als ik je beschrijving lees dan is het blijkbaar een groente die in zaad geschoten is. Ik heb geen flauw idee. Augurk?? Paprika???☺♥
