This time of year it seems we have lots of vegetation that ends up in the compost bin from the garden harvest.

Some things don't have to end up there, one example is beet tops.  This year I decided to try to turn them into something that we could eat instead of just turning them into compost.

This recipe was just beets greens and stems mixed with minced ginger, garlic and salt.  Right away it is beautifully colored and on day two we are starting to get some fermenting action.  I am exciting to see how it changes over the next few days and will report back on the results.
