It’s Beets!
July 15, 2017 by Diana -
The lunch forage on the hill today included quite a variety of vegetables, but the beets were a favorite. Bonus: they are easy to carry back to the greenhouse to enjoy.
Eating beets temporarily stains the chimps’ white freckles a lovely shade of pink, and cleaning up the day after a beet feast is always more colorful.

If you are wondering about the troll doll by Negra’s feet in the photo above, she actually took a shine to it today. It’s Foxie who loves the troll dolls, but once in a while Negra decides to carry one around!

I just love the close up of Negra’s rose red lips! I enjoy summer beets too, good and good for you.
So pleased to see that Negra is enjoying her blue haired Troll doll. So sweet.
Nice lip identification, Kathleen! 🙂
Love the picture of Annie (2nd pix) –looks like a flower in her hand. Photo so clear you can see finger nails and lines on her hand and whiskers on her chin Great shot, Diana
Thank you, Elanie! Annie is so very photogenic.
Oh Yum Beets! Do they like the greens as well as the beet itself? These are fabulous photos of everyone enjoying their heart beets! 🙂
They tend to leave the greens behind, which is somewhat surprising because the like lettuces and some kale varieties. Go figure!
