Oh, no, no: We likes the beet roots; just not the leaves. Years
ago, DW&I were enjoying some kind of red-veined chard that we were
buying from one of those "natural" food grocers. Having never grown
chard, I just arbitrarily picked something pretty from the seed catalog.
Shoot, prettiness is as good a criterion as any for the first time, eh?


worked for me too with the "neon mix".


I'll try something different this fall. If anyone has suggestions (about
chard, y'all), I'm all eyes.


there were four different seed packs to pick from
the display and i didn't have enough loot to get all
of them. so i picked the package with four varieties
in it.
