I as looking at seeds today for some silverbeet, nd noticed 3 differing
varieties available there. Fordhork Giant, Dwarf Compact, and some other
variety I cant remember. Do these taste any different, and does anyone have
any success with some of them? I bought the Dwarf Compact one, so will see
how they go.

They are a relatively easy plant to grow. The leaves are very
nutritious, and they have a long harvest. They like manure and a pH
close to 7. Fordhook is usually the most reliable and abundant
producer (white stalks).
