let grow untouched first year and harvest next year? harvest a little this year after they get a few big leaves? are these biannual like beets? They _are_ beets, albeit ones that have been bred for foliage. Pull up a chard plant and you'll see a vestigial beet on the bottom. And yes, the second year they will put up huge alien flower stalks festooned with Buckyball seeds. -- Gary Woods AKA K2AHC- PGP key on request, or at home.earthlink.net/~garygarlic Zone 5/4 in upstate New York, 1420' elevation.
