Mm. Gives me incentive to plant more chard next year, IF I can control
those bloody cabbage worms!

You sure those were cabbage worms? Chard is totally unrelated to
the cabbage family. It's related to beets and spinach (one-time
family Chenopodiaceae, now Amaranthaceae). T

I have had ongoing problems with leaf-miners in chard and beets.

Well, they mostly tried to demolish the Broccoli that was next to them,
I think they ate some of the chard "just because".

Here are pics. They destroyed the Horseradish utterly:

Anyone know if BT is dangerous to humans and ok if sprayed on leafy
greens and eaten shortly afterwards?

Listed as safe to use up to day of harvest. (Wash those leafy greens
throroughly before cooking!)

And be sure to actually cook them.
Wonder about lettuce tho'.

Perhaps a vinnagrette. ;-)
