bolting

The overwintered Beets are bolting- into a tall stalk

with something on the top that looks like it will turn into a flower.

I don't know if beet seeds can be saved, or if the ones I planted were hybrid, so I probably won't let it set seed but just watch curious to see how the flower forms and then cut it down. It's growing where the zucchini are going to go in, anyway.

Does not bode well for my overwintered carrot; they're probably going to do the same thing!
