By eight o’clock Saturday morning, Bill and Latrelle Thomas had already sold all of their beets. While area farmers’ markets have had a slow start this year “on account of the weather,” Billy Thomas said beets are getting a bit more attention than they have in the past. The couple tend a large garden at their North Hall County home where they grow fresh flowers, onions, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, beans, okra and squash.
