Beet


Random walk about. Surprisingly I had never walked about this area in Sugarhouse even though I've probably passed by it a few hundred times. But I'd like to understand the fascination with the beet. These giant beets are just hanging out and I'd like to know why the beet? Is it grown in Utah? Is it the official plant of Sugarhouse? Wait, wait, is it a sugar beet? Didn't I hear something about sugar beets being big business in Utah before sugar from sugar cane was #1? I'd have to do some research into it. Nah, I don't think I care that much. Still, nice beet.
