Anja Walessa sagt:Ja, die Zuckerrfcbe wir im Herbst geerntet . Ich denke, dass sie dann eine ldnnehoe Grf6dfe erreicht hat. Wenn sie jetzt schon schmeckt, dann ist ja alles gut. Man muss einfach ausprobieren, wie wann was geht, nur so wird man schlauer.Ich habe fcbrigens nochmal meine Mairfcbchen geerntet und die waren diesmal total lecker. Keine Ahnung, warum die im letzten Monat nicht schmeckten, vielleicht lag es an der Zubereitung.
