Lots of beet to pick. The Forono surprised me by growing rather quickly this year, and being ready the same time as new variety Boro, despite being sown later. The trouble with Forono is that the long roots are particularly prone to slug damage, so cannot be left too long. Unlike newer varieties, it can be prone to being woody if left too long. So far, so good, but there's an awful lot of beetroot sandwiches to get through!
Actually, we have been experimenting with roasting beet along with other vegetables. It take quite a long time, and is prone to bleed a little, but is an excellent addition to the roasting tray.
