Hi there

My silverbeet from the time it sprouted has been a very pale green -
so pale as to be almost yellow. I wonder if anyone has any ideas ?
The colour is perfectly consistent on every leaf.

Sounds like yellow silverbeet to me. We have the standard green plus
yellow and red silverbeet. If it is yellow silverbeet, the stems will
be tinged yellow as well.

Thanks Phil.

The stems are white and the packet says that these seeds are Fordhook Giant
which I believe is supposed to be a proper green colour

Any more ideas ?

Ivan.
